Simple badminton rules
Scoring
Games are played to 21 points. A player / team must win by 2 points. Best of 3 games wins the match.
Serving
Serve diagonally. The shuttle must be hit below the waist. If the score is even, serve from the right. If odd, serve from the left.
Faults
A fault happens if:
- the shuttle lands out of bounds
- the shuttle doesn't go over the net
- a player touches the net with their body or racket
- the same player hits the shuttle twice in a row
Doubles play
Each team gets one serve per turn. After winning a point, switch service sides.
Let
A let is called if the serve hits the net but lands in or if a player is distracted. The point is replayed.
Court width
In singles, the court is narrower, using the inner sidelines, while in doubles, the court is wider, using the outer sidelines. However both games use the same length of the court.
