properly so that you
will not lose a point
after making a
service.

1. The High Badminton Serve -
This type of serve is usually
executed when you want the
shuttle to land at the back end of

54. Scoring System
A match consists of the
best of 3 games of 21.
Every time there is a
serve a point is scored.
The side winning the rally
adds a point to it’s score.
Each game must be won
by a 2 point advantage.
At 29 all – the team to
score the 30th point will
win.
A side winning a game
will serve in the next
game.
55. Details
When the server serves, the shuttle must pass over the
short service line on the opponents court.
If the score reaches 20-all, then the game continues until
side gains a two point advantage.
The server and receiver must remain within their service
courts, without touching a boundary line until until the
server strikes the shuttle.
The other two players may stand wherever they wish as
long as they do not obstruct the view of the
server/receiver.
56. Faults
Players win a rally if their opponents commit a fault.
The most common fault in badminton is when
players fail to return the suttlecock so that it passes
over the net and lands inside the opponents court.
Neither the server or receiver may lift a foot until
the suttlecock has been struck by the server.
The server must hit the base or cork of the
suttlecock.
Each side may only hit the suttlecock once before it
passes back over the net.
It is also a fault if the suttlecock hits the ceiling.
57. Let
If a let is called, the
rally is stopped and
replayed with no
change in score.
Lets may occur when
there is an unexpected
disturbance.
EX. – a shuttle landing on
your court which was hit
from an adjacent court.
