The 4 steps to analysing a badminton match are: Look for patterns in serve and return. Identify your opponent's strengths and weaknesses. Notice any patterns in mentality and attitude. Recognise your strengths and weaknesses.
The outer sidelines are sometimes referred to as “outer tramlines” or “doubles sidelines”. On a regulation badminton court, the outer sidelines will run the full 13.41m /44.00ft length of the court. The outer sidelines are marked 5.18m (17.00ft) apart and run parallel to one another.
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.
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.
To win a game, a player must reach 21 points. However, if the game is tied at 20-20 (or 20-all) then you are required to win by two clear points. Unlike most sports, however, if the score becomes 29-29 (or 29-all), the player or team to score the 30th point will win the game.
SCORING SYSTEM A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points (games cap at 30 points). Each game starts at 0-0. If the match goes to the third game that third game will be played to 15.
A game shall be won by the side which first scores 21 points, except as provided in Law 7.4 and 7.5.

A singles service court is a box made from four lines: The centre line. A singles side line (inside side line) The front service line. The back line (the outside one, all the way at the back)
🏸 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.
