At first glance, the badminton court and the tennis court may seem similar, but they are in fact very different. Tennis courts were designed specifically to be played on by people wearing running shoes and hitting a light ball back and forth over the net, whereas badminton courts were designed specifically to be played on by people wearing running shoes and hitting a feathered shuttlecock back and forth over the net. While it is technically possible to play badminton on a tennis court, it’s not worth doing because it will ruin your shuttlecocks, your grip, and ultimately your game!
The Badminton rules
One set is played to 21 points. A player must win by 2 points. After one team reaches 11 points, it can decide whether to end the set or play on until one team reaches 21. If either team has scored 10 or more consecutive points, then that team wins regardless of its opponent’s score. The order of serving and receiving alternates with each point, beginning with you receiving serve at 1-0 (11) and ending with your opponent receiving serve at 20-all (20). In between these ends are called Changes of Serves where each player gets to take two turns; first as server, then as receiver. If they win WPC2029 both ends they get 2 extra points towards their tally! So let’s say the other team scores 19 points in total during the course of a game. They would have won by 5-4 because they would have beaten them in 4 sets out of 7!
The server shall send up one shuttlecock into the air without touching it, before passing over to his opponent who strikes down into his court with his racket to meet it. There are four players in this game: two singles players and one doubles pair playing together on opposite sides of a net which divides them into different courts (there are some exceptions but I’ll just focus on this basic rule). The game is started by an umpire tossing a coin: tails being assigned to one side, heads to the other. The history of Eleven Warr and Ohio State football
How did it all start?
It all started when I tried to play badminton with my friends. We got a tennis court and set up our badminton net, but we still couldn’t find people to play with. I think that was because there weren’t any courts made for badminton. My friends told me that they had seen some at their local tennis club so we drove over there, but then we found out that it wasn’t for tennis players either! They told us about how badminton actually started in India, which is where squash also started from. That made sense because you don’t see many squash courts around either. We were talking about the game with one of the managers of the club who said he thought they might have had an old badminton court downstairs. So we went down to check and sure enough, there was an old court downstairs! The first thing I noticed was that it needed new nets since ours are really old now. But other than that it looked perfect for playing badminton on-at least until someone else comes along who would want to play too!
Understanding court dimensions
Courts aren’t standardized in size, but most are between 36 and 70 feet long. Professional badminton courts can be up to 83 feet long and 9 feet wide, so knowing your dimensions is important for safety reasons. That said, no matter what court you play on, you should know how many yards are in an individual half-court. After all, that information will help you figure out whether or not your opponent has just lobbed one across to you from way out there. If it takes two shots to return her serve from your end of court—you lose! We’re still in high school math class here folks. With the exception of some small variations (which we’ll get into later), the total length of the court, from back line to back line, is the same for both singles and doubles. In doubles badminton, one side’s singles court becomes shared by two players (except at pro level). What this means is that while each player stands next to each other on the side they’re playing on, they’re only allowed access to their own half of the court when serving (i.e., only hit into their partner’s side) and vice versa when returning serves (i.e., their partner must hit into their own side). Note: You can’t cross over into your partner’s territory during rallies because you might have trouble getting back in time before getting killed by a smash.
Know your shuttlecock (shuttle, birdie, birdy, etc.)
A shuttlecock (sometimes spelled shuttlecock) is not a type of bird. The small feathered projectile is used in several different games and sports, including badminton, tennis, and other racquet sports. At its most basic level, it’s essentially like hitting a golf ball with your hand—but since you have to hit the shuttlecock into an area (in badminton), it requires much more skill. Before playing any game that requires skills with a shuttlecock, make sure you understand how everything works from your perspective; it’s especially important if you plan to play competitively at some point.
Understanding the equipment required
Before you can play badminton, you need to understand what equipment is required. While many of us would assume that you need badminton rackets, shuttlecocks and courts, there are actually more components required for a game. For example, nets are an important piece of equipment because without them it’s unlikely anyone will bother playing at all. The rules of badminton: In order to play it properly, you must understand its rules. After all, part of having fun while playing sports is being able to enjoy yourself knowing that you’re following some set guidelines or regulations. It’s not a free-for-all where anything goes; indeed there is one set way in which games should be played so as to ensure fairness for both sides.
