As outlined by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), here is a simplified rundown of the rules of badminton.
Badminton can be played either as singles or doubles. In singles, there are two players competing against each other. In doubles, two pairs of players form teams and compete against each other, resulting in a game of four players.
Badminton scoring system
All singles and doubles matches are the best-of-three games. The first side to 21 points wins a game.
All singles and doubles matches are the best-of-three games. The first side to 21 points wins a game.
A point is scored on every serve and awarded to whichever side wins the rally. The winning side gets the next serve.
If the score is 20-20, a side must win by two clear points to win the game. If it reaches 29-29, the first to get their 30th point wins.
Change of ends in badminton
In badminton, players are required to change ends under specific conditions. They should change ends at the conclusion of the first game. If a third game is required, they should also change ends at the end of the second game. In the third game, the change of ends occurs when one side reaches a score of 11 points.

Winning a point in badminton
A point is won if the birdie (shuttlecock) hits the ground in the opponent’s half of the court, including the lines.
A point is won if the birdie (shuttlecock) hits the ground in the opponent’s half of the court, including the lines.
A point can therefore be conceded if a shot goes outside the court boundaries, if the birdie hits the net or passes through/under it, or if a player strikes the birdie twice with their racket.
More on the net
Players must wait for the birdie to cross the net before playing a shot, and while you can follow through over it, touching the net with your body or racket results in a point being conceded.
