if in serving, the shuttle falls into the wrong court or falls outside the
service court.
iii)
if in serving or receiving, player’s feet are not in the service court until
service is delivered. (NOTE: player may not move until service is
delivered.)
iv)

GENERAL
i)
If in service the shuttle touches the net and is otherwise good, it does not

If a server in attempting to serve misses the shuttle, it is NOT a fault.
It is a fault if bird is slung or carried over the net (rests on strings of
racquet).
ii)
iii)
5.
ETIQUETTE
The success of the badminton program depends more on this aspect of the game than any
other. All players must be familiar with it and apply it with scrupulous honesty when
playing.
5.1
5.2
5.3
The server always calls the score before serving. If the opposing team does not
agree, it should be settled between them before playing that point.
The player nearest the bird, upon landing on his side of the net, makes the call of
“in” or “out” providing only that he has actually seen the bird land. If he has not
and cannot therefore make an honest call, he may refer to his partner.
If ever there is doubt, e.g., a player saw the bird land and was not sure whether or
not it landed “in”, then the doubt must be given to the opponent and the call
should be “in”.
The players on court must not seek assistance with calls from coaches, other
players, or spectators. An obvious disagreement is resolved by a re-serve. If

BADMINTON HANDBOOK – Revised June, 2015 - Page 3
there is obvious dishonesty on the part of other players, then for that time you
must unfortunately accept it and report it subsequently to your coach.
If a controller has received numerous complaints concerning illegal play and/or
dishonesty about a particular team from the coaches, the controller may appoint a
neutral coach to act as an official for that team. The controller should talk to the
team involved after the first complaint and give them a warning. However, if that
particular team still continues to disregard the warning, then the game would be
forfeited and the win would be awarded to the opposing team.
Players shake hands at the net upon concluding their match.
Games will be played on the first available court as their game is called (see
attached rotation of games)
Do not rally for serve, rather you should spin the racquet or hit the bird up.
Winning team will report the score to the recorder.
One good bird per court will be permitted. If a change is required for a game, it
should be accomplished during the warm-up period whenever possible. The bird
will be exchanged by the tournament controller.
Some other points to remember:
6.5.1 If you are not on the court when your game is going to start, the
tournament controller will determine if the game is forfeited.
TEAM COMPOSITION
7.1
All grade teams will consist of one (1) girl’s doubles, one (1) boy’s doubles, one
(1) mixed doubles, one (1) girl’s singles, and one (1) boy’s singles.

RESPONSIBILITES OF COACHES
11.1
Before the Tournament
11.1.1 Each coach should spend a proportion of time with the players in
reviewing the common situations and rules summary included in the
handbook.
11.1.2 Each coach is expected to ensure that all players are familiar with and
understand the general tournament and game procedures as outlined in the
handbook.
11.1.3 Finally, before tournament play commences, each coach must insist that
besides being familiar with the rules and procedures, each player is aware
of and observes the spirit and etiquette of the game of badminton.
Behaviours such as these are vital to the success of the tournament. The
players must believe in and act upon the premise that while the rules of the
game are important, the rules of honest and good sportsmanship are more
important still.
11.2
During the Tournament
11.2.1 Coaches are responsible for getting the correct players on the correct court
and ensuring that players know which game they are playing.
11.2.2 Coaches must not get involved during the game either by coaching or
advising on calls. Their contact with the players must be restricted to
encouragement only. If there is a real problem on a particular court, then
both coaches together may endeavour to solve it. However, no coach may
act unilaterally.
11.2.3 Coaches must remember that during their duty as controller, their main
responsibility is to keep the tournament going rather than to work with his
or her players. If it is discovered that a team or teams are playing or have
BADMINTON HANDBOOK – Revised June, 2015 - Page 5
played inadvertently in a wrong game, that result will be scrapped and the
correct games played after the end of the scheduled games.
11.2.4 Coaches must insist that their players do not go into the halls of the school
and practise.
11.2.5 Coaches must ensure that their players respect the school in which the
tournaments are played (changing rooms, etc.).
