A game can take place with either two (singles) or four (doubles) players.  
To score a point, the shuttlecock must hit within the parameters of the opponent’s court.
If the shuttlecock hits the net or lands out, then a point is awarded to your opponent.
Players must serve diagonally across the net to their opponent. As points are won then serving stations move from one side to the other. There are no second serves, so if your first serve goes out, then your opponent wins the point.
A serve must be hit underarm and should be below 1.15m. No overarm serves are allowed.
Each game will start with a toss to determine which player will serve first and which side of the court the opponent would like to start from.
If a player touches the net with any part of their body or racket, then it is deemed a fault and their opponent receives the point.
A fault is also called if a player deliberately distracts their opponent, the shuttlecock is caught in the racket then flung, the shuttlecock is hit twice or if the player continues to infract with the laws of badminton.
Each game is umpired by a referee who overlooks the game. The referee has overriding calls on infringements and faults.
Let” may be called by the referee if an unforeseen or accidental circumstances arises. This may include the shuttlecock getting stuck in the net, server serving out of turn, one player not ready or a decision which is too close to call.
