 Badminton
Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two
opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs
(doubles), on a rectangular court that is divided by a
net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock
with their racquet so that it passes over the
net and lands in their opponents'
half of the court. Each side may only
strike the shuttlecock once before it
passes over the net.
