Badminton Rules:
Rally Point Simplified
Taken from the
following website:
http://www.badmintonengland.co.uk
Scoring System
A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.
The side winning a rally adds a point to its score.
If the score reaches 20 all, the side which gains a 2 point lead first, wins
that game, e.g. 27-25.
At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game.
The side winning a game serves first in the next game.
Intervals and Change of Ends
When the leading score reaches 11 points, players have up to a one minute
interval.
Up to 2 minutes interval between each game is allowed. Players change ends at
the end of each game.
In the third game, players also change ends when the leading score reaches 11
points.
Singles
At the beginning of the game and when the score is even, the server serves from
the right service court. When it is odd, the server serves from the left service
court.
If the server wins a rally, the server scores a point and then serves again from
the alternate service court.
If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and becomes the new
server, serving from the service court appropriate to the new score.
Doubles
Only one player of the pair serves during a hand in doubles. The service passes
consecutively to the players as shown in the attached diagram overleaf.
At the beginning of the game and when the score is even, whoever is serving
serves from the right court. When it is odd, the server serves from the left
court.
If the serving side wins a rally, the serving side scores a point and the same
server serves again from the alternate service court.
If the receiving side wins a rally, the receiving side scores a point. The
receiving side also becomes the new serving side, and the serve passes to the
player who did not receive at the beginning of the game or who did not serve the
previous time the side had service.
Note: The players do not change their respective service courts until they win a
point when their side is serving.
If players serve from or receive in the wrong service court, the error is
corrected when the mistake is discovered but the score is not corrected.
