The Basic Rules of
Badminton
No player is allowed to touch the net with their
body or their racket at any time.

The birdie should not hit the floor. The birdie


should not come to rest on any player’s racket
at any time.

The birdie should not land outside the boundary


lines of the court.
The birdie should not hit the ceiling.

When serving, the birdie should be hit from


below the waist in an underhand motion.

The team receiving the serve should not touch


the lines on the court before the server has hit
the birdie.
Interval and
Change of Ends
When the leading score reaches 11 points,
players have a 60 second interval.

A 2-minute interval between each game is


allowed.

In the third game, players change ends when


the leading score reaches 11 points.
Singles
At the beginning of the game (0-0) and when the
server’s score is even, the server serves from the right
service court. When the server’s score is odd, the
server serves from the left service court.

If the server wins a rally, the server scores a


point and then serves again from the alternate
service court.
If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a
point and becomes the new server. They serve
from the appropriate service court – left if their
score is odd, and right if it is even.
Doubles
A side has only one ‘set’.

The service passes consecutively to the players


as shown in the diagram.

At the beginning of the game and when the


score is even, the server serves from the right
service court. When it is odd, the server serves
from the left court.
If the serving side wins a rally, the serving side scores
a point and the same server serves again from the
alternate service court.
If the receiving side wins a rally, the receiving side
scores a point. The receiving side becomes the new
serving side.

The players do not change their respective


service courts until they win a point when their
side is serving.
If players commit an error in the service
court, the error is corrected when the mistake
is discovered.

In a doubles match between A & B against C


& D. A & B won the toss and decided to
serve. A to serve to C. A shall be the initial
server while C shall be the initial receiver.
Note that this means:
The order of server depends on the score
odd or even same as in singles.

The service courts are changed by the


servicing side only when a point is
scored. In all other cases, the players
continue to stay in their respective service
court.
