FAQ
With laws of badminton dictating specific rules for service in badminton, the court has two service lines, the short service line, which is 1.98m (6.5 feet) from the net, and long service line 0.72m (2.36 feet) in from the baseline, specifically marked for this purpose.
When the shuttlecock falls on the line, it should be considered IN. This is how it works: When the shuttlecock falls, the head of the shuttlecock will touch the ground first. If the head of the shuttlecock touches the line, it is considered inside.
If the bird lands on the line it is considered in bounds. You serve overhand in the game of badminton.
Net. The net is 760mm in depth and a minimum of 6.1m wide. The top of the net from the surface of the court is 1.524m at the centre of the court and 1.55m over the side lines for doubles. There must be no gaps between the ends of the net and the posts.
Width of lines: 40mm External dimensions include width of lines. To show the zone in which a shuttle of correct pace lands when tested, an additional four marks 40mm x 40mm may be made inside each side-line for singles of the right service court, 530mm and 990mm from the back boundary line.
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.
Winning a point in badminton A point is won if the birdie (shuttlecock) hits the ground in the opponent's half of the court, including the lines.
If a shuttlecock lands beyond the baseline, it is considered out of play in both singles and doubles. In singles matches, during service, the shuttlecock must land within the singles sideline and the baseline; on the opposite side of the court.
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.
