A badminton court is usually laid on a wooden floor with synthetic mats used as
the surface of the court. The courts are meant to provide cushion and comfort
to shuttlers who crisscross the playing surface to deceive their opponents with
smashes and clever strokes to win points. Hence, keeping the court surface
prim and proper is mandatory.

This court provides for two (2) types of competition -- singles and doubles.
