BADMINTON FIRST QUIZ

INSTRUCTION: Modified True or False. If the statement is false underline the
word that made the statement wrong.

TRUE 1. Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on a

beach; formal games are played on a rectangular indoor court.

TRUE 2. Since 1992, badminton has been a summer Olympic sport with four
events: men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s double, and women’s doubles,
with mixed doubles added four years later.

TRUE 3. The doubles court is wider than the singles court, but both are of the
same length.

TRUE 4. 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.

TRUE 5. A match is the best of three games.

FALSE 6. If the server is not ready when the service is delivered, a let shall be
called; yet, if the server attempts to return the shuttlecock, the receiver shall be
judged to have been ready.
FALSE 7. Before the adoption of carbon fiber composite, racquets were made of
light metals such as copper and bronze.

TRUE 8. Thinner strings are more durable, but many players prefer the feel of
thicker strings.

FALSE 9. The choice of string allows a player to increase the thickness of their
racquet handle and choose a comfortable surface to hold.

FALSE 10. Over grips are thicker (less than 1mm), and are often used as at The
final layer. Many players, however, prefer to use replacement grips as the final
layer.

TRUE 11. Synthetic shuttles are often used by recreational players to reduce
their costs as feathered shuttles break easily. These nylon shuttles may be
constructed with either natural cork or synthetic foam base and a plastic skirt.

FALSE 12. In the midcourt, a high shuttlecock will be met with a net kill, hitting
it steeply downwards and attempting to win the rally immediately. This is why it
is best to drop the shuttlecock just over the net in this situation.

FALSE 13. In the forecourt, a high shuttlecock will usually be met with a
powerful smash, also hitting downwards and hoping for an outright winner or
weak reply.

TRUE 14. In the rear court, players strive to hit the shuttlecock while it is still
above them, rather than allowing it to drop lower.
FALSE 15. Balls maybe spun to alter their bounce (for example, topspin and
backspin in tennis) or trajectory, and players may slice the ball (strike it with an
angled racquet face) to produce such spin.
