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.
So just to be clear, a doubles service court is made from these four lines: The centre line. A doubles side line (outside side line) The front service line. The inside back line (not the very back line, but the next one in)
Each doubles service court is bounded by the short service line, the centerline, the doubles sideline, and the doubles back service line. Its dimensions are 13 feet (3.96 m) long by 10 feet (3.05 m) wide. It is sometimes referred to as short and . The side alley is in bounds; the back alley is not.

- If the shuttle lands outside the boundaries of the court, passes through or under the net, fail to pass the net, touches the ceiling or side walls, touches the person or dress of a player or touches any other object or person. - If the initial point of contact with the shuttle is not on the striker's side of the net.
- A legal doubles serve would land in the area bounded by the center line, the doubles long service line, the doubles side line and the short service line (short and wide). - Once the serve is made in doubles, the court area is bounded by the doubles sideline and the back boundary line.
Touching the net with the body or the racket is illegal and will result in the loss of the serve or a point awarded to the serving team. Only one hit is allowed per side. If the shuttle hits or goes over the top of the basketball backboard (when they are in their put away position), it will be considered out of bounds.
The doubles service courts are slightly different. They are wider, because they use the outside side line (remember: the doubles court is wider); and they are shorter, because they use the inside back line. That's what the inside back line is for: doubles service, and nothing else.
