1. Rally scoring system
In badminton, the rally scoring system is the most commonly used scoring system. In this system, a point is awarded to a team for each rally that is won by that team. A rally is a sequence of shots made by each side until one side fails to make a return or the shuttlecock touches the ground. A team can win a rally even if the serving team makes a mistake, as long as the receiving team is unable to take advantage of it. The first side to score 21 points will win the game, as long as they have a two-point lead over the other side.
2. Single point structure
A single point structure is the most basic form of badminton scoring. This method is used for practice and casual play. In a single point structure, players play until one player reaches eleven points (or fifteen or twenty-one points, depending on the event). The player who reaches the desired number of points first wins the game. The winner of the game is the first to reach two points more than the other player at any time during the game. In a single point structure, a player can never have a score more than eleven points.
3. Deuce system
The Deuce system is a way to score points in badminton. In this system, a player needs to score two consecutive points in order to win the game. This means that if the score is tied at one point each, the player needs to score two more points to win the game. The system is used in singles play as well as doubles play. It is seen as a fair system as each player has an equal chance of winning the game.
4. Serving order
The serving order for badminton is set out before the match. Generally, the player who won the previous game serves first in the next game. If it is the first game of a match, the player who won the coin toss serves first. The serve always alternates between players, so if a player serves first, their opponent will serve second, then the first player will serve again in the third game. The players keep alternating serves until one of them reaches the set number of points necessary to win the game.
5. Scoring of points
The scoring of points in badminton is easy to follow. A player or team scores a point when the shuttlecock is served and landed in the opponent’s court, but not returned correctly. A player or team can also score a point if the opposing team commits a fault. The game can be played up to 21 points; a game is won when a player reaches 21 points with a two-point lead over the opponent. The game can also be won by the player who reaches 30 points first. If the score reaches 29-all, the player who scores the 30th point wins the game.
6. Service court
Service court is the area of the badminton court in which a player must stand to serve. It is located on the right side of the court for a right-handed player and the left side for a left-handed player. Service court is a crucial part of the game because a player must stand in it for two consecutive points in order to score. The game of badminton can be played up to a maximum of 21 points. A player must win by two points and must win the final two points consecutively.
7. 2-point lead rule
The 2-point lead rule is a rule in badminton that states that a player must win by two points in order to win the game. That is, if a player has a score of 19, then the opposing player must have a score of 17-or-less in order to win. This rule ensures that games are competitive and that neither player has an unfair advantage. Additionally, if the score reaches 29-29, then the game will end in a draw.
8. Match point rule
The match point rule is the way that badminton games are scored. At the start of the game, the score will be 0-0. During the game, each side will take turns to score points. The first side to reach 21 points wins the game. If the score gets to 20-all, the side that scores the next point will win the game. If either side is at match point (29-all) and the other side scores the next point, the game is over and the side at match point loses the game.
In conclusion, badminton is a great game for people of all ages and abilities. It requires skill, agility, and strategy, and can be played in singles or doubles. The game is won when one side reaches 21 points, with a two-point margin of victory. The 20-point system is also commonly used, with a two-point margin of victory and a maximum score of 30 points. With the right equipment, strategy, and practice, badminton can provide hours of fun and friendly competition.
