HISTORY OF BADMINTON

Badminton was invented long ago; its origins date back at least two thousand years to the
game of battledore and shuttlecock played in ancient Greece, India and China. Badminton
took its name from Badminton House in Gloucestershire, the home of the Duke of Beaufort,
where the sport was played in the last century.

Founded in 1934 with nine members - Canada, Denmark, England, France, Ireland, Netherlands,
New Zealand, Scotland and Wales, membership of the International Badminton Federation has
risen steadily. There was a notable increase in new members after badminton's Olympic debut at
Barcelona. Development in the sport continues to grow and the current 142 members is expected
to increase further.

The first major IBF tournament was the Thomas Cup (world men's team championships) in
1948. Since then, the number of world events has increased with the addition of the Uber Cup
(ladies' team), World Championships, Sudirman Cup (mixed team), World Juniors and the World
Grand Prix Finals. 1996 saw the last of a highly successful invitational event, the World Cup.
Started in 1981 the World Cup was established to provide top players with an opportunity to earn
greater levels of prize money. As the World Grand Prix circuit has grown and prize money has
increased it was felt that the World Cup had served its purpose.

New competitions are planned including one-off spectaculars and the development of a
SuperSeries. It is anticipated that these will attract greater sponsorship, prize money and
television. In these days of mass communications, the importance of television to a world sport is
self-evident. Television brings the action, the excitement, the explosive power of badminton into
homes around the world. It pulls in the crowd to see the action live; it pulls in major sponsors.

Badminton has a rich history and its future looks even brighter!

Badminton is an indoor game in which the contestants bat a shuttlecock back and forth across a
net without permitting the shuttlecock to touch the ground. The object of the game is to hit the
shuttlecock to the floor on the opposite side of the net, so that the shot cannot be returned. Only
the serving player can score a point. from a rally. Badminton singles is played by two opponents
and doubles by teams of two people. Badminton game began in India which also known
"Poona." In the 1860s, it was adopted by British Army Officers stationed in India. The officers
took the game back to England where it soon became very popular.
Badminton is one of the fastest racket sports, requiring quick reflexes and superb conditioning.
In a badminton smash, the shuttlecock has the speeds over 200 m.p.h in top International
Competition.

Badminton was first introduced at the Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain (1992) and again at
Olympic Gams in Atlanta (1996), and will continue as a full medal sport.

Other International Badminton Games; Olympics, Thomas & Uber Cups (World Team
Championship for men and women, held every year), World Championship (held every other
year), Sudirman Cups (World Mixed Team Championship, every other year), Pan American
Games (every 4 years), U.S Open and other International Competitions.

The Laws of Badminton

The Laws of Badminton and Competition Regulations in the BWF Statutes provide the
detail on every aspect of the game of badminton.
Below is a brief overview  - simplified rules.
Scoring System

o A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.

o Every time there is a serve – there is a point scored.
o The side winning a rally adds a point to its score.
o At 20 all, the side which gains a 2 point lead first, wins that game.
o At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game.
o The side winning a game serves first in the next game.

Interval and Change of Ends

o When the leading score reaches 11 points, players have a 60 second interval.
o A 2 minute interval between each game is allowed.
o In the third game, players change ends when the leading score reaches 11
points.

Singles

o At the beginning of the game (0-0) and 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.
o If the server wins a rally, the server scores a point and then serves again from
the alternate service court.
o If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and becomes the new
server. They serve from the appropriate service court – left if their score is odd,
and right if it is even.

Doubles

o A side has only one ‘set’.

o The service passes consecutively to the players as shown in the diagram.
o At the beginning of the game and when the score is even, the server serves from
the right service court. When it is odd, the server serves from the left court.
 o If the serving side wins a rally, the serving side scores a point and the same
server serves again from the alternate service court.
o If the receiving side wins a rally, the receiving side scores a point. The receiving
side becomes the new serving side.
o The players do not change their respective service courts until they win a point
when their side is serving.

If players commit an error in the service court, the error is corrected when the mistake
is discovered.
In a doubles match between A & B against C & D.  A & B won the toss and decided to
serve. A to serve to C. A shall be the initial server while C shall be the initial receiver.

In all other cases, the players continue to stay in their respective service court
from where they played previous rally. This shall guarantee alternate server.
