Players must serve to their opponent diagonally across the net. As points are earned, serving stations switch from one side to the other. Because there are no second serves, if your first serve is returned, your opponent wins the point. A serve must be delivered under the server's arm and below the server's waist. If the ball hits the hand or any part of the body other than the shoulder, it is a fault; otherwise, it is a winner.
Faults occur when a player sends the shuttlecock out of bounds or into the net. If a player receives a violation card from the referee, he/she has 30 seconds to resume play. If they do not, then that point is lost forever. The player cannot continue until he/she has re-served the ball.
The object of the game is to drive the shuttlecock past the opposing team's singles players into the court behind them. You can reach this area by hitting the shuttlecock with a racquet face down over the net toward the other court. You score when you hit the shuttlecock so that it lands in one of these pockets. There are three types of shots: forehand, backhand, and lob.
Forehands and backhands are used to shoot the shuttlecock towards the opposite net. They are the most powerful shots because you use both arms for balance while playing them. Forehands are usually high up in the air to achieve distance.
The goal of the serve is to land the ball in the square space on your opponent's side that is diagonally opposite your position. If the ball lands in that region and then moves out of play, that is an easy point. Otherwise, it is up to you to start the rally again.
The server's intention is to give the ball enough speed to reach the other player but not so much as to go over their head. They should hit the ball with the sides of their hand at a slight upward angle (this is called "hitting through the ball").
If the server hits the ball cleanly and accurately, they have successfully served a volley. This is good news for the receiver because it means that they will now be able to hit back if they want to continue the game. A successful serve can open up the court for your teammate if they are struggling to get into the action or it can help them close it out if they are having success putting pressure on their opponent.
There are several ways to serve effectively. You should learn how to do it correctly before trying different techniques in practice or games. The two main methods are the kick serve and the punch serve.
A good serve should be delivered diagonally over the net onto the service box. The rule is summarized in the image below: Before the receiver may receive the ball, serve 1 must touch the service box 1. Before the receiver may receive the ball, serve 2 must touch the service box 2. It is a flaw to serve that is not a good serve.
When the score is even at the start of the game, the server serves from the right service court. When the situation calls for it, the server will serve from the left court. If the serving side wins a rally, the serving side earns a point, and the same server serves from the alternate service court again. The first player to reach seven points wins the game.
Points can also be earned during changeovers. A player receives one point for every opponent hit into the net, with a maximum of five points per side. If a player reaches seven points before the end of the match, they win automatically without needing to win by two games or more. Otherwise, the player with the most remaining points after three minutes of play time will win.
Badminton is a team sport where anyone can win. In fact, over 50 percent of all matches are won by teams of two players. It's not unusual to see four people on a team or even six or eight. Even children as young as five or six years old can play badminton if taught the rules properly. As long as everyone involved knows what they're doing, nobody should be afraid to join in.
There are several different types of shots in badminton. These include: smash, drop shot, block, spike, dig, pull-hit, push-hit, and fly. Each type of shot requires its own specific technique that we'll discuss below.
Except at the start of the game, each side serves in the customary scoring system. A side has only one serve in the rally point scoring method. The first player to win two points wins the game.
In team events, each team receives a maximum of six aces in a set. An ace occurs when a player returns the ball completely into the court without touching it with any part of her body except for the soles of her feet. If a player touches the ball with any part of her body other than her feet, it is considered a fault, and she has no right to another serve. However, the referee may allow her another opportunity to serve if he believes it would be in the spirit of the game. As long as she does not touch the ball with her hands or arms, she can repeat the process as much as she wants.
A match is won by one player achieving two victories. If both players have an equal number of victories, then the match is tied and goes into overtime. In this case, each player gets one opportunity to win a point during overtime. If they fail to do so, the opponent wins the match.
A match comprises of the best of three 21-point games. Every time a serve is made, a point is scored. When the score is 20 all, the team that achieves a two-point advantage first wins the game. At 29 all, the team that scores the 30th point wins the game. In case of a tie at 20 all, each side gets one last chance to win by scoring more points than their opponent.
The player who serves first chooses either the indoor or outdoor court depending on which one they prefer. The aim is to hit the shuttlecock into the other player's court using a powerful swing of the racket. If the shuttlecock does not get out of the way in time, it will be hit back into your own court where you have to return it before any further shots can be served.
Indoor courts are usually smaller and better for beginners because there is less room for error. Outdoor courts are larger and allow for more extravagant shots. Both types of court have their advantages and disadvantages; it's just a matter of personal preference as to which kind of court you want to play on.
In order to win a game, you need to gain two points on your opponent. You can do this by hitting their shuttlecock away from the net with a strong swing of the racket, or by hitting it over the net into their court.
