Rules: When the shuttle lands on the line is it considered in? What it would be in or out? Please guide to with full information Answer: Hi Farhad, thanks for your question. When the shuttlecock falls on the line, it should be considered IN. While serving in doubles, before she my opponent , made contact with the shuttle, I made a move for a kill shot, apparently she noticed it and placed the shuttle at the rear end, which was out.
Then she claimed it was a foul, as I started early. Is it true, that If i start early for a kill or a any movement, before the opponent touches her shuttle, its considered as a fault. She is right, You made a fault. You can not move your feet until she hit the shuttlecock.
It is called fault by receiver or receiver fault. In a game do we have to score 21 points to complete the game, even if the opponent score is zero?? You have to be inside your service box before your opponent starts their service motion.
You are not allowed to move until that point. Rule 9. So you are not allowed to move until the server has hit the shuttle. After that you can cross the service line and return the serve. The stops both players getting an advantage by getting too close to the net. So the racket must be angled downwards with the head on the lower end and at the point when the shuttle is struck by the racket head, the whole shuttle has to be below your waist.
The back of the court has two lines — the inner line is ONLY used as the back line for the doubles service box. The outer line is used for ALL other shots. Hi, just want to clarify a point about striking the net.
If I hit the net after playing my shot BUT I only make contact with the net after the shuttle has touch the floor on the opponents side is this a fault or ok as the point has already ended. Are my partner and I allowed to pause between rallies to take a sip of water or to catch our breath? We take no more than five seconds. Thank you for the answer! At the top level players are definitely not allowed to behave as you describe and can only take a break at the discretion of the umpire.
And if someone was to take a sip of water after every long rally I think it would annoy and disrupt an opponent especially in a competitive game. Is it a service fault? If I served and receiver hit the shuttle over the net which could be land in opponents receivers side, but I hit back on their side inside boundaries of the court, it will be a fault or in? Tahir At the moment your racket touches the shuttle, the shuttle must be on your side of the net. Your racket can pass over the net after this point.
So you have described a fault. Under which rules can this be applicable. According to rule 9. Your partner is allowed to call in or out or communicate with you in any way.
They can advise you at any point to play or leave a shot or to do anything but one pair cannot say things to deliberately distract the other pair. Right, I have a question. Is it up to the reciever to make sure that theor partner is ready?
Thanks for the rapid response! Just had to have this cleared up, thought this was the case, but in a recent match I got told off for doing this. I stood my ground to the oppnent. Thanks for your help! The shuttle is only out when it touches the ground or a wall. The side touching the shuttle would lose the point. If a server is in a ready position to serve but has not made a forward swing of the racket, and the shuttlecock falls from his other hand, can he pick up the shuttlecock to begin serving again?
I have enjoyed reading these questions and answers. I have one question which was not addressed: Is it a fault to talk to my partner when serving or during play? The BWF rules say rule So at what sound level does talking become shouting? And who decides whether communication with your partner is distracting to your opponent? Or deliberately distracting? I would say that making any noises as you served would be deliberately distracting to the receiver.
In fact any verbal comment directed at your opponents during play might be considered distracting by them especially if they lose the point. It is probably normally clear by the comment and the timing of it whether a comment is aimed at your partner or your opponents. It surprises me how noisy badminton arenas are during tournaments. And spectators are always making noises building up to a smash. Team 1 , player A serves to Team 2 player C. When player A serves the shuttlecock to player C, player D strike the shuttle in midair back to the Team 1 court and make a score.
Question, Is the score valid and can player D hit the shuttle when player C is the one who supposed to receive the serve? What is a verbal call indicating an illegal shot? See BWF Handbook , page 30 for umpire guidelines which covers these aspects of the game. I imagine this is fairly standard in the UK but it must vary from place to place. Hi If you serve to the wrong side if the court ie opposite you rather than diagonally and either of your opponents touch the shuttlecock, who wins the point?
If the receiver diagnonally to you the person who is supposed to receive the shot hits the shuttlecock back, then regardless of whether your serve was going to be in or not, the point continues as normal.
I have posted three queries about theservice faults but didnt give my contact details. I shall repeat questions again; a is it a fault if your racket head is above waist when serving? We are playing double. If my opponent serve the shuttlecock and it land directly on the centre line. Is it a score or fault serve?
If the shuttle lands on a boundary line its in, if it lands outside it its out. Its not important whether its a line. I saw a scene in a youtube-broadcasted match where a player blocked the shuttle at the net while not holding the raquet on the opponents side or clashing raquets with the opponent. Please help to provide the supporting rule No or rule name for the same.
The area for serve in doubles is between the short service line and the long service line for doubles, and between the side lines for doubles and the centre line. Shots which land on the lines themselves are in. See Diagram A in Section 1 of the Rules. Because of this, when the shuttle crossed the net it was not over it but slightly beside. It then continue to curve to land inside the line. Was it good or not? Beside the net…. This is how it is played in Vietnam…. Hi, I just read the question and the answer given.
These situations should only happen rarely anyway as the net should cover the full width of the court so the situation could only arise if the shuttle was going out before the hitter hit it past the net. His question is in a 15 point game which used to be under the service scoring system , is a score of enough to secure that game. That question is now not pertinent as it is now the rally scoring system where the winning point is There are some who believe even under this scoring system a score awards the game to him.
I think this is still a relevant question as plenty of people and clubs and in the UK, I hear even some leagues still play the traditional 15 point game — although its becoming less and less common.
Ramesh — the 15 point system has never had a rule saying that reaching wins you the game — you have always had to reach 15 points. However clause 9. Can you please further clarify this. In doubles the non-serving player usually stands behind his partner in the middle of the court with one foot in each half of the court. Is it legal to serve from outside the court or racket swing from outside the corut even if the player stand inside the court?
Is there any rules regarding way we must not hit the cock to the opponent.. Nope, strictly speaking you can be as vicious as you like with the shuttlecock. The shuttlecock is in when it lands on the line in any circumstance, whether during service or other parts of the rally.
This is considered to be misconduct and a player is given a verbal warning if they take too long. If they repeatedly take too long then they can be given a yellow card, but usually the verbal warning is sufficient to address the issue. And do you know any specific examples of this happening? In summary:. The umpire must determine the severity of the problem as quickly as possible. The Referee shall be called on the court, if necessary. The Referee would then decide whether a medical officer is required — the medical officer would examine and advise the player.
No treatment causing undue delay would be administered on the court, so the opposing side is not put at a disadvantage. I have a tournament tomorrow and would really like if you could reply before then.
A singles court is 5. The diagram at the top of the page shows which are the singles sidelines. There is a very latest incident where the referee called a fault, in an international tournament, even though none of the conditions you have explained here were present. But then it is up to the referee to interpret, as I have seen exactly the opposite decision in another incident, also international tournament. However, the concept of obstruction, as mentioned in rule However, it is possible for a shuttle to hit a stationary racket up without it being obstruction.
Two examples are: if you are not deliberately blocking the opponent, or if you are not blocking the only possible place an opponent can hit to. Clashing rackets does not end the rally unless you both hit the shuttle at once — in which case you lose the point. If only your racket made contact with the shuttlecock then the rally continues. Just to clarify…The outside singles line is also the outside service court line for doubles..?? Meaning server in doubles can not stand outside the singles service court….
In doubles the service court extends to the outer sidelines, so you can stand just inside the outer doubles line to serve.
The key thing is neither of your feet can touch the outer boundary lines of the service area when you serve. Is it good or not? Gordon Vance, the head of a shuttlecock is rounded, so, is the centre of the head the determen whether or not the shot is in or out?
No, its whichever part of the shuttlecock hits the ground first. So if the edge of the head of the shuttlecock touches the boundary line as it hits the ground then the shot is in. Are you not contradicting yourself there?
So I suspect the commentators were clarifying that its the part which lands first ie Michael just forgot to say whichever part of the shuttlecock head hits first… But,sometimes a damaged shuttle will detach from the cork head and what happens then…??? Many many times I have seen the cork separate from the feather and in each instance it is called a let….
If this is correct or not I am not really positive but this is how we play it in Vietnam…However a broken feather during play is not considered a let and play continues as normal…. The Hawk Eye system in tennis works brilliantly. I look forward to something similar being introduced in badminton! Matt Woodage I am sure we will see this technology used in badminton in the future…they are talking about it now but it is expensive… This is definitely one of the big complaints of TV viewers as well as players….
Another complaint of TV viewers is the inability to see the flight of the shuttlecock on TV…. Sorry for the long winded post…. The server in doubles is allowed to stand where in the serving box…???? I disagree…the servers box in doubles is the side out of bounds line for doubles court and the middle line that separates the left and right courts..
If serving into the doubles court the serve is good if it hits in or on the lines bounded as above…. What is the rule governing hitting the net with the racket while playing a stroke.
