HISTORY OF
BADMINTON
Badminton can be played either as singles
or doubles. In singles, there are two players
competing against each other. In doubles,
two pairs of players form teams and
compete against each other, resulting in a
game of four players
Badminton, a fast-paced sport, consists of a rich history that dates
way back. It can be traced from early civilications, with different
variations played in Asia and Europe. However, the modern form
of badminton was made in British India during the mid-19th
century. Initially known as "Poona," the game gained popularity
among British army officers stationed in Pune. The name later
changed to badminton, named after Badminton House in
Gloucestershire, England, where the Duke of Beaufort held a
garden party where badminton further gained fame.
Throughout its history, badminton has produced a
countless of influential/outstanding players who have
left an unforgettable mark on the sport. one of them,
Lin Dan from china, stands out as one of the greatest
players in badminton history. Having two olympic
gold medals and five World Championship titles, Lin
Dan's skill and dominance have earned him the
nickname "Super Dan."
Over the years, the rules of badminton have
undergone refinements to enhance the game's
competitiveness and spectator appeal. One of the
significant changes occurred in 2006 when the scoring
system was modified to the rally-point system. Under
this format, points can be scored on every serve,
contributing to a faster-paced and more dynamic
game.
Badminton has a rich history in the Philippines, with its
origins dating way back to the early 20th century.
Badminton gained popularity during the American
colonial period, as it was introduced by Americans
residing in the country. Over the years, badminton
became a favorite recreational activity and eventually
evolved into a competitive sport with the establishment
of local clubs and organizations.

BASIC RULES OF
BADMINTON
1. Badminton Doubles Service Rules The initial
service for doubles games should always take
place from the right service court. Thus, the
first serve of the game gets made from the right
service court. You should play it to your
opponent in a diagonal path opposite to you.
That means it gets received in the diagonal right
service court. Alternating Service No player
may receive two consecutive services in the
same game. So, serving alternates between the
right and left court stations as long as the initial
server wins points.
2. The other team wins the right to serve if the
serving team loses a point. The second player on
the first team now serves once the first team regains
the service advantage.

3. Badminton Doubles Court The team serving the

shuttle is the server and the other team is the
receiver. When the server’s score is odd, the serve
takes place from the left service side of the
badminton doubles court. It gets received in the
diagonal left service court. This is why badminton
court dimensions are marginally bigger and wider
for a game of doubles to compensate for paired
players.
4. Doubles Badminton General Play Play continues
and any player may hit the shuttle from any part of the
court after a return of the initial serve. Only one player
per team may hit the shuttle using only one hit to pass
it over the net.

The rules of badminton consider the shuttle to be in

play even if it touches the net. But, only if the ‘birdie‘
passes over to the other side.

Regulations consider shuttles landing on boundary

lines as ‘good‘ and in-bounds. As a rule, each team
can take one 60-second timeout per game.
