🏸 Fun Fact: If the shuttle hits any part of the line, even just 1%, it's considered IN! The server earns the point in this case.
In singles the court is thinner, with the wide, outside 'tramlines' out of bounds. In doubles the court is full width and these tramlines are now 'in'. During service in doubles, the court is short, with the rear 'tramlines'at the back of the court, being out of bounds until the serve is returned.
Basic Badminton Rules A game starts with a coin toss. At no time during the game should the player touch the net, with his racquet or his body. The shuttlecock should not be carried on or come to rest on the racquet. A player should not reach over the net to hit the shuttlecock.
The lines marking out the court are easily distinguishable and coloured white or yellow. The lines are 40mm wide. A court may be marked out for singles only. The back boundary lines also become the long service lines and the posts or the strips of material representing them are placed on the side lines.
Like the term, the boundary of the single's court is the inner line at the side, and the outer line at the end. If the shuttlecock hits outside the boundary, it is considered out, and the point is given to the receiver. As mentioned, the point is still given to the hitter when the shuttlecock lands right on the line.
The outer sidelines are marked 5.18m (17.00ft) apart and run parallel to one another. Any shot that lands inside the doubles sideline is considered “in” or valid for doubles matches. If the shuttlecock lands outside the outer sideline in doubles, it is considered out of play.
A point is scored when the shuttlecock lands inside the opponent's court or if a returned shuttlecock hits the net or lands outside of the court the player will lose the point. At the start of the rally, the server and receiver stand in diagonally opposite service courts.
