Rules and Regulations in Badminton

The document outlines the rules and regulations for singles and doubles badminton matches. For singles, players must alternate serving from the right and left service courts depending on the score. For doubles, serving always begins from the right service court and only the opponent diagonally across the court can return the serve. Lets can be called for unforeseen occurrences like the shuttle getting caught in the net. Faults occur for shots that land out of bounds, don't pass over the net, or if a player touches the net.
