Basic rules

20. The player strikes the shuttle service from his own court diagonally to the opponent

21. As soon as the shuttle hits the ground, the game is stopped. Depending on whether the shuttle is in/on the lines (in) or outside the lines (out) is being assessed how the game continues. If the shuttle is on the ground by a failure of the service player, the service will be transferred to the other player and gives that player a point. If the fault is made by the opponent, the service player remains a point, and keeps the service

22. The service player has one change for his service. When he makes a fault, the service goes to the other player

23. A similar number is served from the right service court, in an odd number from the left

24. If the referee is not sure whether he made the right decision, he can give let. A let means that played point should be replayed

 

Points

2 points for a winning match

0 points for a lost game or by disqualification

 

Poule

– Example: 47 points for and 41 points against counts as + 6.

If the points difference is equal, the number of scored points is counting

When the number of scored points is also equal, the mutual result counts
