•The dictionary definition of

'etiquette' is: the customary code
of polite behavior in society or
among members of a particular
profession or group. 
1. Shake hands with your opponent
● This is the most basic and important
gesture of good sportsmanship in just
about any sport. It is an
acknowledgment of your opponent’s
effort and a way to thank your
opponent for the game. Not shaking
your opponent’s hand after a game
shows disrespect and even hostility.

When an opponent scores, return the shuttle with a

light underhand stroke. This shows respect and
acceptance of the shot; making an acknowledgement
of an exceptional shot is also polite.

Do not talk to, or deliberately distract, an opponent

during play. Talking to spectators or coaches during
play is completely unacceptable and considered very
rude.

It is customary and expected for a player to

announce the score before service. This is should be
announced with the server's score first and the

usually do this.
