    BADMINTON

    HISTORY:

    A badminton-like game was known in ancient Greece and Egypt - a game called
    battledore and shuttlecock - in which two players hit a feathered shuttlecock back and forth with
    tiny rackets. He game was played in India during the 18th Century, at which time it was called
    "Poona". In the 1860s it was adopted by British Army officers stationed in India. The officers
    took the game back to England, where it became a success at a party given by the Duke of
    Beaufort in 1873 at his estate called "Badminton" in Gloucestershire.

    A variation of Badminton which has been developed only recently, Speed Badminton or


    Speedminton, is played without a net, and is gaining popularity, especially in Germany.

    EQUIPMENT:

    Racket

    The badminton racket is one of the most important tools a player has in the game.
    Badminton rackets are much lighter than most other sports rackets because they are made from
    materials such as carbon fiber or lighter metals such as aluminum. 

    Shuttlecock

    The badminton shuttlecock, also referred to as a shuttle or birdie, acts similarly to


    a ball in other racket sports. The shuttle has 16 feathers attached to the base and the
    length of the feathers range between 2.44 and 2.75 inches.
    Net

    A mesh net divides the badminton court into two sides. A badminton net is placed
    lower than a volleyball net at five feet and one inch high on the sides and five feet high
    in the center.

    Facilities

    The badminton court should be 44 feet long by 22 feet wide if playing doubles,
    and 44 feet long by 17 feet wide for singles. If the facility is indoors, there needs to be
    enough height for the shuttlecock to be able to float across the net without hitting the
    ceiling. This height will vary depending on the strength of the players.

    RULES AND REGULATION

    1. A Game of Two or Four

    Badminton can be played as singles or doubles.


    In a single rally, there will be two players, playing with each other.
    While in a double rally, you can pair up with your friend and play a game of four.
    But the players are a set, like the sets of cards.
    ‍

    2. Left or Right

    You cannot randomly choose your side as you wish. This is one of the basic badminton rule

    which needs to be followed for any rally. At the beginning of the game, when the server’s score
    is even, then you are at the right service court. If the servers score is odd, choose the left side. ‍
    3. Know Your Weapons

    Badminton is played with a stringed racket and a shuttlecock. The cock is topped with feathers

    and have a rubber base. The player should always hit the rubber base and not the feathered part.

    Each player can use a single stringed racket.

    ‍
    ‍

    4. The Serve

    The serve is the basic of any badminton play. Serve is the term used according to
    badminton rules, to hit the cock during the beginning of each rally. Serve should
    always be done underarm and below the server’s waist. An overarm serve is
    against the rules of badminton, and would be considered a fault.

    5. Begin It By a Toss

    The basic rule and regulation of any badminton rally, either Olympics or your
    family play is that, the game always begins with a toss. When playing with your
    friends, stop fighting for the first serve, because you are within the box of the
    badminton rules! The start is only hosted by a toss; the next first serve depends on
    who wins the rally. If you win the first rally, then the next game begins with your
    serve.

    6. The ‘Net’ Trap


    The net is a vital and villainous equipment in the play. If the shuttle cock hits the
    net or even touches the net, disqualified! The point goes to your opponent.

    ‍
    ‍

    7. Tame Your Hands and Your Feet

    While the play is on, your feet should never touch the white line bordered around
    you. Your hands are your rackets, a hand touch is a foul play, which is beyond the
    shadow of any doubt.

    ‍
    ‍

    8. “That’s a Foul Play”!

    According to the basic rules of badminton, if your cock touches the ground or if
    you hit it twice from the same court, that’s considered a foul play. So there’s no
    replay or second chance. “In the game of badminton, you either loose or win,
    there’s never a chance!”

    ‍
    ‍

    9. Don’t Be Bully Kid

    While a play you should never back or temp your opponent while he/she is serving,
    which may ward off their concentration. Feinting the opponents or trying to bully
    them by any means is unpardonably offensive. Being a sportsman you will
    obviously never be the bullying little kid anymore.
    ‍
    ‍

    10. The Landing

    The shuttlecock which is either served or hit, should land inside the service court.
    Any cock which flew away the white boundaries will not be counted and yes, your
    opponent will definitely score.

    ‍
     11. Dock Out!

    If the following rules of badminton are continuously broken by a player, then the
    referee has the undue right to dock out the player’s point or the player from the
    game. Be alert! Your actions rules your future.

    ‍
    ‍

    12. 21 Steps Ahead

    To win the game of badminton you must score points before your opponent. Out of
    3 sets of play you must win 2 to be the talented winner.
