Period 6 Team Games

Due Date: Wednesday, February 15th


Badminton Rules and Regulations

A badminton match is played to the best of three games. Rock-Paper-Scissors determines first serve or choice of side. The object of a badminton game is to hit the badminton shuttlecock over the badminton net and onto the ground within bounds on your opponent's side of the court. A rally can also be lost by hitting the shuttle into the badminton net, out of bounds, before it crosses the net to your side, or if it strikes your clothing or body rather than your badminton racket.
Badminton Scoring Formats
In class we will utilize rally play; 21 points are needed to win a badminton game.
In rally play, a point can be awarded to either team, and in most cases, a point is awarded along with resumption of service, except when a rally point is lost by the first member of a serving doubles team.
At the conclusion of each badminton game, players or teams must switch sides. If a third game is necessary during a match, sides are switched during that game when a player/team has reached eight points in doubles or men's singles, six points in women's singles, or 11 points in rally play.

Badminton Serving Rules
As in tennis, badminton service is always done diagonally, e.g. from the right service court to the opponent's left service court. The first serve is always taken from the right court, and subsequent serves are taken from alternating sides.
Line shots in badminton service or rallies are considered in, though court bounds are different for singles and doubles play. The back line is the same for both, but singles badminton is played with the narrower of the two sidelines.

I learned that in badminton...

They use rock-paper-scissors to determine who serves first.

The thing you hit is called the shuttlecock.

After each badminton game the two teams switch sides.

Tiffany Zhang learned...
1. That Rock-Paper Scissors determines who serves first.
-We just went straight into the game and didn't make a deal of who served first.
2. After the conclusion of a badminton game, players had to switch sides.
-We didn't continue to play after the match and instead rested until called upon to play a different team.
3. That in the 3rd determining game, the number of points needed to be reached to switch sides differs for women's singles; Women need to reach 6 points instead of 8 points in doubles or men's singles.
-We did not have to play multiple games and we only play doubles. after reading this blog that I did not know before hand.

in a serve the birdie has to land in the first box.

If the birdie hits the net and goes over it is in.

On a serve there are no do-overs so if you hit net or miss the birdie all together it is the other teams point.

I learned that, should the birdie hit your body or clothing instead of the racquet, the other team gets a point. I also learned that the boundaries for singles and doubles are different. A third thing I learned is that at the end of each game players must switch sides.

I learned first that in badminton real matches go to 21 points. Second teams switch sides at the end of every game. Third if the shuttlecock hits a players body then the point is awarded to the team that did not get hit by the shuttlecock.

Games are played by best 2 out of 3

Rock paper scissors is actually used for first serve

A hit off of anything other than the racket is a point.
