Badminton rules are summarized as follows: 1. Players determine serve or side by tossing a coin, racket, or shuttle before a match. 2. The rally point system is used for scoring, where any fault gives a point to the opposing team. 3. Players change ends after the first and second games, and a third game is played if necessary.

1. Badminton rules

2. 1. Tossing for serve
Before a match begin, opponents can toss a
coin, spin a racket, or toss a shuttle to
determine who shall get the choice of
“serve” or “side”.

3. Scoring
The rally point system is used in scoring the
badminton game w/c means any fault committed by
the serving or receiving team gains point.
LOVE- designates a score of zero
LAVE-ALL- is called when both opponents or teams
have a score of zero
IN SIDE- is called for the serving player or team
OUT SIDE- is called for the receiving player/team
GAME POINT- is the point that a server won w/c
results to the server’s winning the match

4. Setting the Score
if the score at 13-all or 14-all (9-all or 10-all for
women’s single), the side that first scored 13 or
14 has the choice of setting (extending) or not
setting the game. When the game has been set,
both scores revert to zero.

5. Change of Ends
Players change ends of the court at the
beginning of the second game and at the
beginning of the third game if the third game
is necessary.

6. Serving
In singles, the server stands in their right service court
when their score is even, and in her/his left service
court when her/his score is odd.
In doubles, if the serving side wins a rally, the same
player continues to serve, but he/she changes service
courts so that she/he serves to a different opponent
each time. If the opponents win the rally and their
new score is even, the player in the right service court
serves; if odd, the player in the left service court
serves. The players' service courts are determined by
their positions at the start of the previous rally, not by
where they were standing at the end of the rally.
