Crazy Badminton
• Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing
players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take
positions on opposite halves of 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. A rally ends once
the shuttlecock has struck the floor.

but ultimately the shuttlecock stuck.

Badminton Equipment
Equipment
• Racquets : are lightweight (70-95 grams), not including grip
or strings. They are composed of many different materials
(carbon fibre composite aluminium, wood).
• Strings: The optimum tension for power depends on the player
String tension is normally in the range of 80 N (recreational
players) to 160 N (professionals).
• Grip: The choice of grip allows a player to increase the thickness
of his racquet handle and choose a comfortable surface to hold.
There are two main types of grip: replacement grips and
overgrips.
• Shuttlecock:A shuttlecock (shuttle,birdie) is a high-drag
projectile, with an open conical shape: the cone is formed from
sixteen overlapping feathers embedded into a rounded cork base.
The cork is covered with thin leather or synthetic
material.Synthetic shuttles (nylon) are often used by recreational
players to reduce their costs as feathered shuttles break easily.
• Shoes: The proper badminton shoes will have la little lateral
support and a very thin sole, lower a person's centre of gravity,
and therefore result in fewer injuries.
Score
•Rules
Each game is played to 21 points . A match is the best of
three games.
• At the start of the rally, the server and receiver stand in
diagonally opposite service courts (see court
dimensions).
• When the serving side loses a rally, the serve
immediately passes to their opponent . "second serve"
doubles.
• In singles, the server stands in their right service court when
their score is even, and in her/his left service court when her/his
score is odd.
• 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. If the
opponents win the rally and their new score is even, the player
in the right service court serves; if odd, the player in the left
service court serves. The players' service courts are
determined by their positions at the start of the previous rally,
not by where they were standing at the end of the rally.
• If the score reaches 20-all, then the game continues until one
