- A point is won if the birdie (shuttlecock) hits the ground in the opponent’s half of the court, including the lines.
- A point can therefore be conceded if a shot goes outside the court boundaries, if the birdie hits the net or passes through/under it, or if a player strikes the birdie twice with their racket.
- Players must wait for the birdie to cross the net before playing a shot, and while you can follow through over it, touching the net with your body or racket results in a point being conceded.
- All singles and doubles matches are the best-of-three games. The first side to 21 points wins a game.
- A point is scored on every serve and awarded to whichever side wins the rally. The winning side gets the next serve.
- If the score is 20-20, a side must win by two clear points to win the game. If it reaches 29-29, the first to get their 30th point wins.
- Players must serve the shuttle diagonally across and over the net into their opponent’s court.
- Note: The new service rules are in force for 2022. Hence, when the racket strikes the shuttle, it should be hit at a height BELOW 1.15 metres (i.e. from the court surface).
- The serving stations move from one side to the other after winning points.
- Serving rules state that the shuttle must reach your opponent’s service box in their half of the court.
- The serve will be good even if the shuttlecock hits the top of the net (termed Net Cord) on its path, providing it reaches the service boundaries.
- You must try to hit the bottom ‘ball side’ of the shuttlecock. Gravity usually reverts the heavier rubber ball section to face downwards as it flies through the air.
- Official badminton rules and regulations do not allow overarm serves. That means you must hit the serve with an underarm action and swing the racket from below your waist.
- If your first serve goes out then your opponent wins the point. Unlike the rules of tennis, badminton regulations do not permit second serves for the server.
