Badminton Singles Rules

 A player must wait until his opponent is ready before serving. If the opponent
attempts a return then he is ruled having been ready.
 The feet of both players must remain in a stationary position until the serve is
made. Your feet can not be touching the line at this time.
 It is not a fault if you miss the shuttle while serving.
 The shuttle cannot be caught and slung with the racket.
 A player cannot hold his racket near the net to ward off a downward stroke by
his opponent or to interfere with his racket.

Faults

 The shuttle, at the instant of being hit is higher than the servers waist or the
head of the racket is higher than the servers racket hand.
 The shuttle does not land in the correct service court.
 The server's feet are not in the service court or if the feet of the receiver are not
in the court diagonally opposite the server.
 The server steps forward as he/she serves.
 Any player balking or feinting his opponent before serve or during serve.
 A serve or shot that lands outside the court boundaries, passes under or through
the net, touches any other obstructions or a players body or clothing. The
boundary and service lines are considered in play.
 The shuttle in play is struck before it crosses the net to the striker's side of the
net. You may follow through over the net.
 A player touching the net or its supports with his body or racket while the
shuttle is in play.
 Hitting the shuttle twice in succession by a player or team.

Scoring System

o A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.


o Every time there is a serve – there is a point scored.
o The side winning a rally adds a point to its score.
o At 20 all, the side which gains a 2 point lead first, wins that game.
o At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game.
o The side winning a game serves first in the next game.
Interval and Change of Ends

o A 1 minute interval between each game is allowed.


o In the third game, players change ends when the leading score reaches 11
points.

Singles

o 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.
o If the server wins a rally, the server scores a point and then serves again from
the alternate service court.
o 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.
