Rules and Regulations of


Badminton for Singles.
In a single rally, there will be two players, playing with each other on
opposite sides of the court.

 The serve
One of the important rules of badminton is about the serve. The serve should
always be done underarm and below the server’s waist. An overarm serve is
against the basic rules of badminton, and would be considered a fault.

 Format

At the start of the game, the score is (0-0). You cannot randomly choose your
side as you wish. This is one of the basic badminton rules which needs to be
followed for any rally. When the server’s score is even, the server serves
from the right service court. When the server’s score is odd, the server serves
from the left service court.

If the server wins a rally, the server gets a point and then serves again from
the alternate side. If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and
becomes the new server. The server starts from the appropriate side– left if
their score is odd, and right if the score is even. According to the rules and
regulations of badminton for singles, a “play-by-play” tournament format is
followed everywhere, wherein all players will be paired with an opponent for
the first-round matches. These players will have one week to play their
matches before advancing to the next round of the tournament.

 Scoring system

When the server wins the game, a point is scored and serve is retained. When
the receiver wins the rally, they earn the right to serve. However, the ability
to gain a point or lose a point will depend on the set of badminton rules and
regulations. A match consists of best-of-three games to 21 points. At 20 all,
the server which gains a two-point lead first wins the game. At 29 all, the side
scoring the 30th point first wins that game. A server in a new game will be
the winner of the previous one, and every time there is a serve, there will be a
point scored, unless that point is replayed.

A two-minute break is allowed between each game. A 60-second break can


be taken when the leading score reaches 11 point. In official BWF play, the
receiver scores points. However, only the server can earn points while
playing classic-rules badminton in universities.

 Faults

In official games of BWF, faults and errors result in a point for your
opponent and you must surrender the serve to them. A major fault as listed in
the badminton rules and regulations for singles is missing the shuttle while
swinging on the serve. If you hit the shuttle but it passes underneath the net, it
can be counted as a fault. Also, when you hit the shuttle out of bounds it is a
major fault as per the rules of badminton. Lastly, touching the shuttle with
your body or clothing is frowned upon amongst the basic rules of badminton.
Rules and Regulations
of Badminton for
Doubles.
 Coin toss

The basic rules and regulations of any badminton rally, either Olympics or
leisurely with your family is that the game always begins with a toss. When
playing with your friends, stop fighting for the first serve, because you must
comply with the badminton rules that qualify a coin toss as an appropriate
determinant. The next first serve depends on who wins the rally. If you win
the first rally, then the next game begins with your serve.

 Boundaries

A player out of a team of 2 must serve inside the white lines of the diagonally
opposite side so that the shuttlecock falls inside it. After the receiver returns
the serve, the player can hit the shuttle anywhere within the entire court area

 Format

In doubles, the scoring system can be a little confusing, since there are 2
players in a team who can serve. A rule of thumb is that a badminton game
always starts from the right-hand side the order of server depends on the
score odd or even, the same badminton rules and regulations for doubles as it
is for singles. For example, if both pairs have decided that you and your
partner start the game with you delivering the first serve, the score is 0-0.
Since 0 is an even number, you will serve from the right side of the court.
Otherwise, the players continue to stay in their respective service court from
where they played their previous game. From this method, alternate servers
are guaranteed.

 Switching sides on the court

In Badminton rules and regulations for doubles entail that the players or
teams will switch sides on the court during the following times:

At the end of the first game

Ø At the end of the second game and if a third game is to be played

Ø During the third game if the first player/team scores a total of 11 points.

 Scoring system

If the serving side wins, they score a point and the same server serves again
from the alternate service court. If the receiving side wins, the receiving side
scores a point. The receiving side becomes the new serving side. To win the
game of badminton, you must score points before your opponent. Out of 3
sets of play you must win two. Every time there is a serve, there is a point
scored. According to badminton rules and regulations for doubles, the side of
doubles that win a rally adds a point to its score. When both sides reach 20
all, the side which gains a 2-point lead first, wins that game. When both sides
reach 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game.

 Faults

The shuttlecock which is either served or hit should land inside the service
court. Any shuttlecock which flew away from the white boundaries will not
be counted and the opponent will score. One side has only one attempt to
retrieve the shuttle, either one of the players is going to hit the shuttle. Even if
the shuttle is accidentally touched by hand, it is still a fault. Also, an
important rule of badminton is that only the receiver can return the serve
directed at them.
