It's a bird, it's a plane—no! It's the #TeamBadmintoN Game

Badminton has a surprisingly long history given its relatively recent introduction onto
the Olympic scene. Badminton was invented long ago; its origins date back at least
two thousand years to the game of battledore and shuttlecock played in ancient
Greece, India and China. Badminton took its name from Badminton House in
Gloucestershire, the home of the Duke of Beaufort, where the sport was played in the
last century. By coincidence, Gloucestershire is now the base for the International
Badminton Federation.

Founded in 1934 with nine members - Canada, Denmark, England, France, Ireland,
Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales, membership of the International
Badminton Federation has risen steadily. There was a notable increase in new
members after badminton's Olympic debut at Barcelona. Development in the sport
continues to grow and the current 142 members is expected to increase further.

The first major IBF tournament was the Thomas Cup (world men's team
championships) in 1948. Since then, the number of world events has increased with
the addition of the Uber Cup (ladies' team), World Championships, Sudirman Cup
(mixed team), World Juniors and the World Grand Prix Finals. 1996 saw the last of a
highly successful invitational event, the World Cup. Started in 1981 the World Cup
was established to provide top players with an opportunity to earn greater levels of
prize money. As the World Grand Prix circuit has grown and prize money has
increased it was felt that the World Cup had served its purpose.

New competitions are planned including one-off spectaculars and the development of
a SuperSeries. It is anticipated that these will attract greater sponsorship, prize money
and television. In these days of mass communications, the importance of television to
a world sport is self-evident. Television brings the action, the excitement, the
explosive power of badminton into homes around the world. It pulls in the crowd to
see the action live; it pulls in major sponsors.

Badminton has a rich history and its future looks even brighter!
Ground measurements

Court dimensions
The badminton court is 13.4m long and 6.1m wide. For singles the court is marked
5.18m wide.
The lines marking out the court are easily distinguishable and coloured white or
yellow. The lines are 40mm wide.

A court may be marked out for singles only. The back boundary lines also become the
long service lines and the posts or the strips of material representing them are placed
on the side lines.

The diagonal full length of the full court is 14.366m.

Posts
The posts are 1.55m high from the surface of the court and remain vertical when the
net is strained.

The posts are placed on the double side lines irrespective of whether singles or
doubles is played. The posts or supports must not extend into the court beyond the
side lines.

Where it is not practicable to have posts on the side lines, some method can be used to
indicate the position of the side lines where they pass under the net, eg by the use of
thin posts or strips of material 40mm wide, fixed to the side lines and rising vertically
to the net cord.
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. If necessary, the full
depth of the net at the ends is tied to the posts.
