COURT
Service lines are 15' 6" from the back court lines. The net is set at 22' from the back court lines.
POSTS
The posts shall be 5' 1" from the ground and shall be placed on the side boundary lines of the court.
NET
The net shall be firmly stretched from post to post. The top of the net shall be 5' in height from the ground at the center; 5' 1" at the posts.
PLAYERS
A doubles game shall have two players to a side; a singles game shall have one player to a side.
TOSS
The side winning the toss shall have the options of:
a) serving first; or
b) receiving; or
c) choosing a particular end of the court.
OBJECT
You win a rally (serve) if you hit the shuttle over the net and onto the floor of the opposing side's court. You loose a rally (serve) if you: a) hit the shuttle into the net;
b) hit shuttle over the net but outside of the opposing side's court;
c) if the shuttle touches you or your clothing;
d) you hit the shuttle before it crosses the net. See more Faults listed under rule 9.
SCORING
A match is comprised of the best of three games. A game starts at "love-all" 0-0. If the serving side wins a rally (serve) they score a point and they serve again but from an alternate service court. If the receiving side wins the rally no points are awarded and the service passes to the next player in line. In singles the next player is the opponent. In doubles it is either the partner of the first server or if both player's have just had a turn at serving the serve goes to one of the opponents. 15 points are needed to win a game. However, if the score reaches 14-14, the side which first reached a score of 14 can choose to play to 15 or to set the game to 17 points. The final score reflects the total points won before setting plus the points gained in setting.
SERVING
Services courts are slightly different for singles and doubles. A shuttle that lands on the line is considered "in". The server and receiver stand opposite one another in diagonal service courts. Always right hand at the start of a game. Once a serve has been made the players may move anywhere on their side of the net. Serves are always underhand in delivery and the receiver must stand still until the serve has been made. In doubles, future serves are then made from alternate service courts to alternate players. In singles, both players shall change service courts after each point scored.
FAULTS
A fault by a player of the side which is "in" puts the server out; if made by a player whose side is "out," it counts as a point to the "in" side. It is a fault:
a) If in serving, the shuttle falls into the wrong service court, or falls short of the short service line, or beyond the long service line, or outside the boundary lines.
b) If the server's feet are not in the service court from which the service is being made, or if the feet of the receiver are not in the service court diagonally opposite until the service is delivered.
c) If, when the shuttle is "in play," a player touches the net or its supports with racket, person or clothing.
d) If the shuttle is hit twice in succession by the same player; is hit more than once; or is held on the racket during the execution of a stroke; or if the shuttle is hit by a player or his partner successively.
e) If the server, in attempting to serve, misses the shuttle, it is not a fault, except if the racket touches the shuttle than a service is thereby delivered.
