Me and my mates have started playing badminton. I say the service court for doubles is the same as singles. They say its different, they say its the outside lines in doubles from the service. Also, if the shuttle cock hits the net and goes over on the service is it a fault?
The service court is the same for singles and doubles. If the shuttle-thing hits the net on service it is a fault.
I have an exam review for P.E. and I can't figure out these two qustions.
"Draw 2 badminton courts and shade in the serving areas for doubles on the first and singles on the second."
"What are the two playing options for doubles?"
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, here is a link to some information about badminton. It shows a drawing of the court with notes. The front service line is the same for each singles or doubles, that is the shuttle must reach at least the front service line to be valid.
Essentially, for doubles, the service court is wide, but shorter - not to the back of the court.
For singles, the service court is not as wide, but longer - to the back of the court. See how the rectangular shape is different.
Playing options for doubles, can be front and back (generally used for mixed doubles, or for uneven strength players) and side by side (generally for mens, ladies doubles or mixed players of similar strength).
i kno there are singles and doubles sidelines. so if u hit out of the singles sidelines during singles, is it out? and same with the doubles sidelines during doubles? also, when u serve and it hits the net or doesnt pass the service line, does the opponent gain a point? do u get a second serve? thanks!
Yes, if you hit out of the singles sidelines during singles match it is out. Only one serve is permitted, you get to reserve only if the shuttle hits the net and lands in the service box.
