10 basic rules of badminton?

The 10 rules of badminton are as follows:

1. A game starts with a coin toss. Whoever wins the toss gets to decide whether they would serve or receive first OR what side of the court they want to be on. The side losing the toss shall then exercise the remaining choice.

2. At no time during the game should the player touch the net, with his racquet or his body.

3. The shuttlecock should not be carried on or come to rest on the racquet.

4. A player should not reach over the net to hit the shuttlecock.

5. A serve must carry cross court (diagonally) to be valid.

6. During the serve, a player should not touch any of the lines of the court, until the server strikes the shuttlecock. During the serve the shuttlecock should always be hit from below the waist.

7. A point is added to a player's score as and when he wins a rally.

8. A player wins a rally when he strikes the shuttlecock and it touches the floor of the opponent's side of the court or when the opponent commits a fault. The most common type of fault is when a player fails to hit the shuttlecock over the net or it lands outside the boundary of the court.

9. Each side can strike the shuttlecock only once before it passes over the net. Once hit, a player can't strike the shuttlecock in a new movement or shot.

10. The shuttlecock hitting the ceiling, is counted as a fault.

Rules

A match consists of the best of three games of 21 points.

The player/pair winning a rally adds a point to its score.

At 20-all, the player/pair which first gains a 2-point lead wins that game.

At 29-all, the side scoring the 30th point wins that game.

The player/pair winning a game serves first in the next game.

A badminton match can be played by two opposing players (singles) or four opposing players (doubles).

A competitive match must be played indoors utilising the official court dimensions.

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.

A legal serve must be hit diagonally over the net and across the court.

A badminton serve must be hit underarm and below the server's waist height with the racquet shaft pointing downwards, the shuttlecock is not allowed to bounce. After a point is won, the players will move to the opposite serving stations for the next point.

The rules do not allow second serves.

During a point a player can return the shuttlecock from inside and outside of the court.

A player is not able to touch the net with any part of their body or racket.

A player must not deliberately distract their opponent.

A player is not able to hit the shuttlecock twice.

A 'let' may be called by the referee if an unforeseen or accidental issue arises.

A game must include two rest periods. These are a 90-second rest after the first game and a 5-minute rest after the second game.
