The sport was played according to the Pune Rules until 1887, when J. H. E. Hart of the Bath Badminton Club drafted revised rules. [5] In 1890, Hart and Bagnel Wild revised the rules again. [6] The Badminton Association of England (BAE) published these rules in 1893 and officially launched the sport on 13 September in a house called “Dunbar”[c] in Portsmouth. [12] The BAE launched the first badminton competition in 1899, the All England Open Badminton Championships for men`s doubles, women`s doubles and mixed doubles. In 1900, individual competitions were added and in 1904 a championship match between England and Ireland appeared. [5] Doubles: In doubles, each team has two players. Both sides will try to win and support the attack by striking as far as possible. Usually, one player will strive to stay at the back of the field and the other in front, which is an optimal attacking position: the back player will crush the badminton and sometimes drop it into the net, and the front player will try to intercept flat returns or returns to the net. The typical game is to hit the shuttle as low and shallow as possible in a trajectory to prevent the attack from betraying.

A team hitting a shot high must prepare for a shot and retreat into a defensive position side by side, with each player covering half the field. The first service is usually a low service to force the other side to lift the shuttle. A “flick serve”, where the player pretends to serve low but hits him high to catch the receiver without preparation, is used sporadically throughout the game. Doubles is a game of speed, aggressiveness and agility. If the score ends at 20-20, the match will continue until a team wins a two-point lead (for example, 24-22), unless there is a draw at 29-29 where the match moves to a golden point of 30. Whoever scores this point wins the game. The game evolved in British India from the previous game of Battledore and Shuttlecock. The European game has been dominated by Denmark, but the game has become very popular in Asia, with recent competitions dominated by China. In 1992, badminton debuted as a Summer Olympic sport with four events: men`s singles, women`s singles, men`s doubles and women`s doubles; [2] Four years later, mixed doubles was added. At a high level of play, sport requires excellent physical condition: players need aerobic endurance, agility, strength, speed and precision. It is also a technical sport that requires good motor coordination and the development of sophisticated racket movements.

[3] This system has several notable consequences. First of all, the rally points score ensures that the start of the game is fairer than under the old scoring system; Without scoring rally points, serving at the beginning of the game is a significant advantage. Second, there is no “second server”, unlike the old scoring system. Third, whenever a couple retrieves the service, service tribunal laws ensure that the server is the player who served, among other things. The first team to score 21 points won the game. However, the winning team must win by two points. With each new game, the teams change sides and the winner of the last game serves first. In the third game, the teams switch sides at the beginning, and then again when the leading team reaches 11 points.

Richard remembers playing badminton at the Boys Club in southeast Washington. England, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Denmark, France, Ireland, the Netherlands and New Zealand were the founding members of the International Badminton Federation in 1934, now known as the Badminton World Federation. India joined as a subsidiary in 1936. The BWF now regulates international badminton. Although introduced in England, men`s competitive badminton in Europe is traditionally dominated by Denmark. Around the world, Asian countries have become dominant in international competition. China, Denmark, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, South Korea, Taiwan (playing under the name “Chinese Taipei”) and Japan are the nations that have consistently produced world-class players in recent decades, with China having been the biggest force in both men`s and women`s competitions in recent times. Since a person has to cover the entire place, the tactic of singles is based on forcing the opponent to move as much as possible. This means that singles shots are usually directed to the corners of the court. Players take advantage of the length of the course by combining lifts and clearances with fall shots and net shots. Smashing tends to be less important in singles than in doubles, as the smasher has no partner capable of continuing his efforts and is therefore susceptible to a cleverly placed return. In addition, frequent singles smashing, where maintaining a player`s energy is paramount, can be exhausting.

However, players with strong smashes sometimes use shooting to create openings, and players often crush weak returns to try to complete rallies. At the beginning of a game, a coin throw is made between players or pairs. Coin-casting winners can make one of two choices: they can choose whether they want to serve or receive first, or they can choose the end of the land they want to occupy. After making this choice, their opponents exercise the remaining choice. In less formal environments, the coin throw is often replaced by the opening of a shuttle in the air: the side to which it points is intended to serve first. The game was originally developed in India among British emigrants,[8] where it was very popular in the 1870s. [6] Ballbadminton, a form of game played with a wool ball instead of badminton, was already played in Thanjavur in the 1850s[9] and was initially played synonymous with badminton by the British. The ball of wool is preferred in windy or wet weather.

There is an additional line that runs from the service line to the rear demarcation line, perpendicular to the net that divides the rear part of the yard into service tribunals. Players win a rally by hitting the shuttle on the ground within the limits of the opponent`s playing field. Players also win a rally when their opponents make a mistake. The most common mistake in badminton is when players do not turn the shuttle over, so it passes over the net and ends up on their opponents` court, but there are other ways to criticize the players. The following information lists some of the most common errors. The ease of modern rackets allows good players to play many shots with a short swing.
