Unit 2 Badminton

Badminton is a racquet sport played with light racquets and a feathered shuttlecock. Players hit the shuttlecock back and forth over a net in a rectangular court. The game originated from the ancient game of battledore and shuttlecock and was brought to England in the 1800s. It became popular in the United States in the 1930s. The International Badminton Federation governs the professional sport and organizes international competitions. Matches are officiated by a referee, umpire, service judge, and line judges to ensure rules are followed. Points are scored using a rally point system and games are played to 15 or 11 points depending on the event.

INTRODUCTION
Badminton is a tennis-like game played with light
strong rackets that are used to strike a shuttlecock (a
feather cork missile) back and forth, before it hits the
ground across a high net within a rectangular court.
The game has an extremely varied repertory of
strokes. This fact derives from the lightness of the
rackets, so that the wrist can be used much more than in
most other tennis-type games; and even more from the 3
peculiarities in the flight of the shuttlecock or bird, that,
because of its feathers and light cork base, decelerates
quickly after being struck. Badminton is not a good
outdoor game because breezes affect the shuttlecock. All
organized tournaments are played indoors.
HISTORY
Most authorities feel that the game developed from the
ancient pastime known as battledore and shuttlecock. The
game was learned in India as “poona”. It was brought to
England about 1870 by British army officers stationed in India.
The duke of Beaufort introduced the game at his country
place, Badminton, in Gloucestershire. Not having a name at
that time, the game was referred to as “that Badminton
game”. This reference was never changed and badminton
became the accepted title.

The oldest badminton club in the world is the badminton
Club of the City of New York, which was founded in 1878,
however, the game did not become widely popular in the
United States until the middle 1930’s. The US Badminton
Association was formed in 1936.
The International Badminton Federation, the world
governing body for the sport, was founded in 1934. The
premier international men’s team is the “Thomas Cup”, which
was established in 1948 and its counterpart in the women’s
competition is the “Uber Cup”, which was founded in 1956.
Both competitions are held biennially and the Chinese
dominated ever since they begun in 1981. In the mind 90’s,
Indonesian and some Europeans stole the supremacy from the
Chinese.
In 1977, the World Badminton Federation (WBF) was 3
founded and sponsored the first World Championship in the
same year in Malmo Sweden. This was the start of several
international competitions all over the world. The “Suderman
Cup” in 1989 was established in memory of the former IBF
Vice President Dick Suderman. He was also considered the
“Father of Indonesian Badminton”.

BADMINTON OFFICIALS

Badminton Officials play a very important


role in the badminton matches. Even though
they are not as crucial as they can be in other
sports such as football or basketball due to
the lack of physical contact between players,
3
they still are required in order to ensure a
smooth and fair match. The badminton
officials are divided into different roles or
positions.
The referee is the most
important official of the whole
tournament. He or she is in
charge of the competition and
needs to ensure that the
tournament is conducted
following the Laws of Badminton
 (including 
court, rackets and shuttlecock 3
measurements
), the regulations of the
Badminton World Federation
and/or any other regulations
that might be relevant in that
specific competition.
The umpire is the maximum
authority in a particular
match and it is in charge of
the court. The duty of the
umpire is to make sure that
the specific match is
conducted following the 
Laws of Badminton, the 3
regulations of the
Badminton World Federation
and/or any other regulations
that might be relevant in
that specific competition.
The service judge is
responsible for making a
‘service fault’ call and to
provide shuttles to the
players. Due to the way
badminton is played,
the serve is one of the
most important and
perfected shots of the
player and, especially when
3
playing doubles, players
will bring the serve to the
limit of the legality in
order to gain as much
advantage as possible.
The line judges are
responsible for indicating
whether a shuttlecock
landed “in” or “out” if the
shuttle lands near the
lines he/she is assigned to
control. Due to the fast
speed of the game and the 3
skill of the players, this is
a very challenging job and,
as a result, the line judges
are the officials that
usually get more pressure
from the players.

BASIC RULES AND REGULATION
The official rules of the game follow the International
Badminton Federation (IBF).

2. SCORING
The rally point system is used in scoring the
badminton game which means any fault committed
by the serving or receiving team gains point.
Love – designates a score of zero
Love-all – is called when both opponents or teams
have a score of zero.
In Side – is called for the serving player or team 3
Out Side – is called for the receiving player or team
Game Point – is the point that a server won which
results to the server winning the match.
All double games, as well as men’s singles are
played to 15 points, a women’s single game ends at
11 points.

4. CHANGE OF ENDS
5. SERVICE ROTATION FOR
SINGLES AND DOUBLES 3
6. FAULTS
7. LETS
The even/odd rule still holds. So if the server's score
3
is odd, he will serve from the left court (if even, from
the right). Just as for singles, the receiver will stand
in the diagonally opposite service court. Whenever
the serving side wins a rally, the same person serves
again (but from the other service court).
