Document Summary

Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court divided by a net. Players score points by striking shuttlecock with their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents" half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor, or if a fault has been called by either the umpire or service judge or, in their absence, the offending player, at any time during the rally. Various sources claim that its origins date back at least two thousand years to the game of battledore and shuttlecock played in ancient greece, China, but india, denmark and korea are a great badminton team. In the recent years, badminton is more and more popular around the world.
