Badminton - The Fastest Racket Sport
Introduction
Badminton is a high-speed, precision-based racket sport that requires agility, quick reflexes, and strategic shot placement. Played both recreationally and competitively, badminton has a growing presence in the U.S., with major tournaments organized by USA Badminton (USAB) and the Badminton World Federation (BWF).
How the Game is Played.
- Badminton is played singles (1v1) or doubles (2v2) on a rectangular court divided by a net.
- Players use lightweight rackets to hit a shuttlecock (birdie) over the net, aiming to land it in the opponent’s court.
- The game is played in a best-of-three sets format, with each set played to 21 points (must win by 2 points).
Key Rules Scoring
- Serving: The shuttle must be served diagonally and below waist height.
- Rally Scoring: A point is awarded on every rally, regardless of who served.
- Faults: Points are lost if the shuttle lands out, doesn’t cross the net, or if a player commits a violation (e.g., double hit, touching the net).
- Winning a Match: The first player/team to win two sets wins the match.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
