 The History of Badminton.
The sport of badminton has its origins in ancient civilisations in Europe and
Asia. The ancient game known as battledore (bat or paddle) and shuttlecock
probably originated more than 2000 years ago.
In the 1600s Battledore and Shuttlecock was an upper class pastime in England and
many European countries. Battledore and Shuttlecock was simply two people
hitting a shuttlecock backwards and forwards with a simple bat as many times as
they could without allowing it to hit the ground.
A contemporary form of badminton - a game called ‘Poon’, was played in India in
the 1800s where a net was introduced and players hit the shuttlecock across the net.
British officers in the mid 1800’s took this game back to England and it was
introduced as a game for the guests of the Duke of Beaufort at his stately home
‘Badminton’ in Gloucestershire, England where it became popular.
In March 1898, the first Open Tournament was held at Guildford the first 'All
England' Championships were held the following year. Denmark, the USA and
Canada became ardent followers of the game during the 1930s.
 Who invented badminton?

Badminton is named for Badminton House, Gloucestershire, which was owned by

the Duke of Beaufort. It is not clear why the name "badminton" came to be
attached to the sport, even though people living in Badminton House did play the
game. The International Badminton Federation formed in 1934. The game became
an Olympic sport in 1992. However, badminton was carried to Europe by two
officers who was from England.

How is badminton played

Badminton, like tennis, is a racket sport that is played by either two players or two
teams of two players each. The object is for you or your team to get to 21 points
first. You score a point whenever you successfully serve the shuttlecock and your
opposing team commits a fault, which means that the team fails to appropriately
return the shuttlecock.
 To win each game, you must earn 21 points first, and win by two in the process.
So, if both teams have a score of 20, one team must win by 22-20, and so on.
 If you and your opponent cannot win by 2 and keep going until the score is 29-all,
then the first team to score 30 points wins.
 The first team to win two games wins the match. If the score is 1-1 in games, you
must play a third deciding game.

How badminton starts and ends

Starting the game-The rules of badminton states that a toss shall be conducted
before a game starts. If you win, you can choose between serving first or to start
play at either end of the court. Your opponent can then exercise the remaining
choice.
Ending the game-The rules of badminton states that you have to change ends with
your opponent after finishing the first game. If a third game was to be played, you
shall change ends when the leading score reaches 6 in a game of 11 points or 8 in a
game of 15 points.

 General rules of badminton
 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 (in indoor
badminton).
