Badminton Rules   \nCourt and Equipment\nCourt size for singles - 44 feet long x 17 feet wide \nCourt size for doubles - 44 feet long x 20 feet wide \nNet height - 5 feet \nShuttlecocks - Also known as birdies or birds. One type has feathers with a cork base, and the other is plastic with a rubber base. \nRackets - Made of lightweight material like wood, plastic or metal. \nObject of the game\nThe object of the game is to hit the shuttlecock back and forth over a net without permitting it to hit the floor in bounds on your side of the net.\n\nSome general rules and terms\n1. A player may not touch the net with a racket or history body during play.\n2. A birdie may not come to rest or be carried on the racket.\n3. A birdie may hit the net on its way across during play and the rally can continue.\n4. A term of service is called an inning.\n5. A player may not reach over the net to hit the shuttlecock.\n6. A loss of serve is called a side out.\n7. In class games will be played to 15 points and a match is 2 out of 3 games.\n8. Some types of shots are the lob, drop shot, smash and drive.\n\nServing\n1. A coin toss or spin of the racket determines who will serve first.\n2. The serve must travel diagonally (cross court) to be good.\n3. A serve that touches the net and lands in the proper court is called a let serve and is reserved, otherwise, only one serve is permitted to each court until a side out occurs. A serve that is totally missed may be tried again.\n4. The racket must make contact with the birdie below the waist on a serve.\n5. The server and receiver shall stand within their respective service courts until the serve is made.\n6. Points may only be scored when serving.\n7. All lines are considered in bounds.\n8. In singles, when the server's score is an even number, the serve is taken from the right side. When the server's score is an odd number, it is taken from the left. (Serving in a doubles game is different)

The court (for indoor) is 18m long and 9m wide.  It is then divided into two 9mx9m sections by the net.  There is also a line parallel to the net and 3m from the net that divides each side of the court into a front and back court.  The net is 2.43m above the ground for competitive men's play and 2.24m for women's competitive play.  The ball is usually made of leather or synthetic leather and is about 65-67cm in circumference.

Equipments:\nRacket (Yonex recommended) \nShuttlecocks (birdies)\nA Badminton court \n\nNote : \nWhen you play badminton I highly recommend playing indoor cause the wind GREATLY affects the birdie.\n\nBasic Skills :\nKeep relaxed Its not like tennis the swing can be slow.\nDon't worry about hitting high, its normal when people smash it, the birdie will slow down because of air resistance.

Rule 1. Opponents stand on opposite sides of the court. The player who delivers the ball to start the point is called the server. The player who stands opposite and cross-court from the server is the receiver.\n\nRule 2. The right to serve, receive, choose your side, or give the opponent these choices is decided by a toss of a coin or racquet. If the choice of service or receiver is chosen, the opponent chooses which side to start.\n\nRule 3. The server shall stand behind the baseline on the deuce court within the boundaries of the singles court when playing singles and within the doubles sideline when playing doubles. See court dimensions. All even points are played from the deuce court and odd number points played from the advantage court. The server shall not serve until the receiver is ready. Serves are made from the deuce court to the opponents service box on the deuce court. Advantage court to advantage box. If the server misses his target twice, he loses the point. If the ball hits the net and goes in the correct service box, another serve is granted. If the server steps on the baseline before contact is made, the serve is deemed a fault.\n\nRule 4. The receiver is deemed ready if an attempt is made to return the server's ball. The receiver can stand where he likes but must let the ball bounce in the service box. If the ball does not land in the service box, it is deemed a fault and a second serve is given. If the ball is hit by either opponent before the ball bounces, the server wins the point.\n\nRule 5. The server always calls his score first. If the server wins the first point, he gets a score of 15. Scoring is done like a clock. See example below. Love means zero in tennis. The second point is called 30. The third point is called 45 (now-a-days known as 40) and game is won when the score goes back to love. If the score is 40-40, also known as deuce, one side must win by two points. Advantage-In means if the server wins the next point, he wins the game. Advantage-Out means the receiver has a chance to win the game on the next point.\n\nLOVE 15-30-40\n\nRule 5. After the game, the opponents serve. Games equal 1. The first to win 6 games, by two, wins the set. The first to win 2 sets wins the match. If the score is 6-6, a tie-breaker is played. This is scored by one's. The first team to score 7 points winning by two wins the set. The tiebreaker continues until one side wins by two. Hence, Game-Set-Match.\n\nRule 6. If the ball goes into the net, or outside the boundaries of the court, the player who hit that ball loses the point. If the ball hits the net during the point and goes into the opponents court, the ball is in play. A player loses the point if he touches the net, drops his racquet while hitting the ball, bounces the ball over the net, hits a part of the surroundings such as the roof, or a tree, the ball touches him or his partner, he deliberately tries to distract the opponent.\n\nRule 7. A let is called during the point if a ball rolls on the court or there is a distraction from someone besides the players on the court.\n\nRule 8. A ball that lands on the line is good.\n\nRule 9. If players serve out of turn or serve to the wrong person or court, the point or game will stand and order will be resumed following the point or game.\n\n\nThe server is required to keep his feet in nearly the same position during the serve. The server's feet may be raised off the ground, but walking or running are not permitted, so as to prevent the opponent being misled as to where the serve will originate. Breaching this rule or exceeding the permitted part of the court constitutes a ''foot fault''.\n\nIn a legal service, the ball travels over the net without touching it and into the diagonally opposite service court. If the ball hits the net but lands in the service court, this is a ''let service'', which is void, and the service is attempted again. If the first service is otherwise

Badminton is a racket (or racquet) sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles).\n\nPlayers at opposite ends of the court aim to hit a shuttlecock, more informally called a shuttle, over the net so that it lands inside the marked boundaries of the court, and aim to prevent their opponents from doing the same. Unlike a tennis ball, the shuttlecock flies with a lot of drag, and will not bounce significantly. The shuttlecock is always volleyed, and a rally ends as soon as it touches the ground. Badminton racquets have long shafts, to make it easier to impart a great deal of momentum to overcome the drag. The racquets are also much lighter than tennis racquets, because the shuttlecock is light. Badminton is one of the fastest sports in the world with shuttles reaching speeds of up to 332 km/h (206 mph), faster than the speed of the Eurostar train. Fu Haifeng of China set the official record July 3, 2005.\n\nMore info:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton

Badminton's roots date back centuries, having originated from a children's game known in England as "battledore and shuttlecock".\n\nIn 1873 the sport gained its current title after guests at a Badminton House lawn party held by the Duke of Beaufort introduced it to their friends as "the Badminton game".

Basketball is played by two teams of five players each on a rectangular court, generally 50 by 94 feet for college and professional teams, 50 by 84 feet for high school players. (These dimensions are called "ideal" in the rules; they are not definitely prescribed, and high school teams often have smaller courts.) The court is divided into halves by the halfcourt line.\n\nAt the center of a court is the center jump circle, and at either end of the court, 4 feet from the end line, there is a basket, a rim 18 in in diameter and 10 feet above the floor, from which hangs a net of white cord 15 to 18 in long. Behind each basket is a backboard. For college and professional play, it is a glass rectangle 72 in wide by 48 in high; high schools may use a fan-shaped backboard 54 in wide. Beneath each basket a 12-foot lane (16 feet in professional play) is marked, ending at the free throw line, which is 15 feet from the basket. The free throw circle is inscribed around the line.\n\nThe 3-point line is an arc 19 feet, 9 inches from the basket in college basketball, 20 feet, 6 inches under international rules. In the NBA, the line is 23 feet, 9 inches from the basket for most of its length but only 22 feet away in the corners.\n\nThe basketball is spherical, 29 ½ to 30 inches in circumference and 20 to 22 ounces in weight. When dropped from a height of 6 feet a properly inflated ball will bounce to a height of 49-54 inches.

NBA and College – 94 feet long and 50 feet wide \nHigh School – 84 feet long and 50 feet wide \nJunior High – 74 feet long and 42 feet wide \n\nThe Foul Line: \n\nFor all courts the “foul line” distance is 15 feet from the foul line to the front of the backboard. This measurement is commonly confused as from the center of the basket and front of the rim. \n\nThe Key: \n\nStandard for all basketball courts, “the key” (sometimes called “the lane”) is 12 feet wide. Regulation courts have the backboard extending out 4 feet over the baseline into the key. A 6 foot arc (half circle) extends from the foul line away from the basket to complete the key. \n\nThe 3 Point Line (Arc): \n\nCollege and High School Basketball Courts – the 3 point arc is 19 feet 9 inches, with a straight line extending out 5 feet 3 inches (63 inches) from the baseline. Past those points the line extends 19 feet 9 inches from the center of the rim. \n\nNBA Basketball Courts – the 3 point arc is 22 feet to the center of the rim on the sides with a straight line extending out 16 feet 9 inches from the baseline. Past those points the line extends out 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the rim. \n\nThe Backboard and Rim: \n\nThe regulation distance from the ground to the top of the rim is 10 feet for all levels of play. Regulation backboards are 6 feet wide (72 inches) by 42 inches tall. All basketball rims (hoops) are 18 inches in diameter. The inner square on the backboard is 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall. \n\nAll line markings on the floor are 2 inches wide and can vary in color.

I can give you loads of details on this. But to be easier and more specific it depends on what sort of player you are.\n\nNo offense..but girls arm power is less so if you are \n\nplaying mixed doubles \n======================\n- then you need to have a defensive doubles racquet.\n\nplaying Wonmen Singles \n======================\n- you need thick shaft - offensive singles raquet.\n\nPlaying womens doubles\n======================\n - Depends on what you wish to do more - smash or not..If ur partner is very good at smashing.. make her play in the back court - in that case you need defensive racquet to cover whole lot of front court\n\n\nNow - me being a Yonex fan - I can suggest you this link. \n\nhttp://www.badminton.lt/bylos/vaizdai/yonex_chart_racket_1.jpg\n\nHowever, if you r in US you can get help from me.\n\n\n\nThanks,\nMuthu

Tennis vs. Badminton\n=====================\n\nStatistics don't lie. The speed and the stamina required for badminton are far greater than for any other racket sport. At the 1985 All England (Tennis) Championships, Boris Becker defeated Kevin Curren 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4. At the 1985 World Badminton Championships in Calgary, Canada, Han Jian of China defeated Morten Frost of Denmark, 14-18, 15-10, 15-8. The following is a statistical comparison of those matches. \n------------------------------------------------------------\nTennis\n======\nTime:                  3 hrs & 18 mins\nBall/Shuttle in Play:  18 mins\nMatch Intensity*:      9 percent\nRallies:               299  \nShots:       1,004  \nShots Per Rally:       3.4\nDistance Covered:      2 miles  \n\nBadminton\n==========\nTime:  1 hr & 16 mins\nBall/Shuttle in Play:  37 mins\nMatch Intensity*:  48 percent\nRallies:  146\nShots:  1,972\nShots Per Rally:  3.5\nDistance Covered:  4 miles\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------\n* The actual time the ball/shuttle was in flight, divided by the length of the match. \n-----------------------------------------------------------\nNote that the badminton players competed for half the time, yet ran twice as far and hit nearly twice as many shots. \n-----------------------------------------------------------
