HISTORY OF BADMINTON
In the 5th century BC, the people in china then played a game called ti jian zi. A direct
translation from this word 'ti jian zi' is kicking the shuttle. As the name suggest, the
objective of the game is to keep the shuttle from hitting the ground without using hand.
Whether this sport has anything to do with the History of Badminton is up for debate. It
was however the first game that uses a Shuttle.
About five centuries later, a game named Battledore and Shuttlecock was played in
china, Japan, India and Greece. This is a game where you use the Battledore (a
paddle) to hit the Shuttlecock back and forth. By the 16th century, it has become a
popular game among children in England. In Europe this game was known as jeu de
volant to them.
In the 1860s, a game named Poona was played in India. This game is much like the
Battledore and Shuttlecock but with an added net. The British army learned this game in
India and took the equipments back to England during the 1870s.
In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party in his country place, Badminton. A
game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among the British society's
elite. The new party sport became known as "the Badminton game". In 1877, the Bath
Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules.

At 29all, the side scoring the 30th point wins that game.
The side winning a game serves first in the next game.
It is the responsibility of the server to call the score before each serve.
The toss: At the beginning of a match, the winner of a toss may choose to serve,
receive, or select the side. The loser of the toss gets the choice of the remaining
options.
For the second or third game in a match, the winner of the previous games serves first.

Singles: If the server has an even number of points, the serve is from the right court. If
the server has an odd number of points, the serve is from the left court.
Doubles: To start a game, the person in the right court has the serve. If the serving
team gets a point, they rotate sides, and the same person serves from the left. This
continues until the serving team loses the rally. Then the serve passes to the other
team. The person on the right serves first. They rotate if they get a point. If they lose the
rally, the serve goes to the second person on that team (second serve). When the
rally is lost, the serve passes to the other team. Each time the serve passes to a new
team, both players get to serve until they lose a rally.
