Brief Description:

Badminton is a very similar sport to tennis and squash. There can be either 1 person by themselves or 2 people in a doubles team playing against the same number of people. The aim of Badminton is to hit the shuttlecock (the object you hit) over the net and try and make the shuttlecock land on the ground of your opponents side. Therefor you will be given points if you do exactly that.

Rules:

1. When the shuttlecock has landed on your side of the net you can't hit it multiple times before hitting it over the net.

2. When you have received a serve and your partner hit's it at its still on your side of the net you are not allowed to hit it only your partner can regain their own hit.

3. The first to win 3 games/sets of 15 points is the winner of the match. This only applies for men's singles and doubles.
