Rules and Regulations about Badminton.

Hi fellow readers, today we’ll be bringing you guys the rules and regulations about badminton. Before I move on, there is one particular thing which I would like to highlight. I assume most of you had violated the most common rules such as illegal serving. 

What does illegal serving means? 

It basically refer to contacting the shuttle above the legal height, which is the lowest rib of your rib cage. It usually only affects backhand serves, but forehand serves are certainly not out of the question. 

To address this issue, players can start by finding a partner to monitor your way of serving and ensuring the contact point of the shuttle needs to be below your lowest rib. My suggestion to you guys, practice is the KEY TO SUCCESS. 

*Practices makes perfect*

• Before a match begins, a coin will be toss to determine who gets to serve first or which side of the court they want to be on? (Sometimes shuttlecock will be used as a replacement)

• At any point during the game, players should always ensure that their racket or body does not come in contact with the net. - Physical contact such as touching, could result in a penalty or foul.

• The shuttlecock should not be carried on or come to rest on the racket.

• A serve must be carry cross court (diagonally) to be valid. (Cross over)

• During the serve, a player should not touch any of the lines of the court, until the server strikes the shuttlecock.

• A point is added to a player’s score as and when he wins a rally.

• A player only wins a rally when he strikes the shuttlecock and it landed on the floor of the opponent’s side of the court or when the opponent commits a fault.

• Each side can strike the shuttlecock only once before it passes over the net. Once hit, a player can't strike the shuttlecock in a new movement or shot.
