Badminton is played between two players or teams using rackets to hit a shuttlecock back and forth over a net. A match consists of best-of-three games to 21 points, needing a 2-point lead unless the score reaches 29-30. The server alternates sides each point if the score is even or odd, and service passes to the opponent if a rally is lost. Faults result in a point for the opponent if service is incorrect or the shuttle touches outside the court, net, or body.

The server and the receiver stand in diagonally
opposite service courts.
At the beginning of the match and when your
score is even, you must serve from the right
service court. When it is odd, you must serve
from the left.
When the serving side loses a rally, the serve
passes to their opponent.

7. Double match
If the serving side wins a rally, they get 1 point and the same player continues
to serve, but he/she changes the service court.
If their opponents win the rally, they get 1 point and the player who wasn’t
serving before gets the serve (if 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 don’t change their service court unless they win a point while they
are the servers.
