 Guidelines
I. Players and Equipment

There are two forms of badminton, singles and doubles (it’s also possible to play
mixed doubles). Each player is allowed to use a stringed racket (similar to a tennis
racket but with the head being smaller) and a shuttlecock. The shuttlecock is made
up of half round ball at the bottom and a feather like material surrounding the top.
You can only really hit the bottom of the shuttlecock and as gravity comes into play
will always revert the ball side facing down. You may only hit the shuttlecock once
before it either hits the ground or goes over the net.

The court measures 6.1m wide and 13.4m long. Across the middle of the rectangular
court is a net which runs at 1.55m. Running along each side of the court are two tram
lines. The inside lines are used as the parameter for singles match whilst the outside
line is used for a doubles match.

Players must adhere with the proper attire protocol. Athletic attire includes light
flexible tops and shorts, accessories, and, most importantly, shoes that provide
proper friction, cushioning, and over-all good support. Ideally, wear polyester
materials instead of cotton materials. Use of long pants is discouraged as it restricts
player movements.

II. Toss

The rules of badminton states that a toss shall be conducted before a game starts. If
you win, you can choose between serving first or to start play at either end of the
court. Your opponent can then exercise the remaining choice.

III. Scoring

The rules of badminton states that a badminton match shall consist of the best of 3
games. In doubles and men's singles, the first side to score 15 points wins the game.
In women's singles, the first side to score 11 points wins the game.
 If the score becomes 14-all (10-all in women's singles), the side which first scored 14
(10) shall exercise the choice to continue the game to 15 (11) points or to 'set' the
game to 17 (13) points.

The side winning a game serves first in the next game. Only the serving side can add
a point to its score.

IV. Change of ends

The rules of badminton states that you have to change ends with your opponent
after finishing the first game. If a third game was to be played, you shall change ends
when the leading score reaches 6 in a game of 11 points or 8 in a game of 15 points

V. Serving and receiving courts

At the start of the game, and each time a side gains the right to serve, the service
shall be delivered from the right service court. Only your opponent standing
diagonally opposite of you shall return the service.

Should your opponent's partner touched or hit the shuttle, it shall be a 'fault' and
your side scores a point.

After the service is returned, either you or your partner may hit the shuttle from any
position on your side of the net. Then either player from the opposing side may do
the same, and so on, until the shuttle ceases to be in play.

VI. Scoring and serving

If you are serving or receiving first at the start of any game, you shall serve or receive
in the right service court when your side or your opponent's side scored an even
number of points.

You shall serve from or receive in the left service court when your side or your
opponent's side has scored an odd number of points.

The reverse pattern shall apply to your partner.

 In any game, the right to serve passes consecutively from the initial server to the
initial receiver, then to that initial's receiver's partner, then to the opponent who is
due to serve from the right service court, then to that player's partner, and so on.

You shall not serve out of turn, receive out of turn, or receive two consecutive
services in the same game, except as provided in service court errors and 'lets'.

VII. Service court errors

A service court error has been made when a player has served out of turn, has served
from the wrong service or standing on the wrong service court while being prepared
to receive the service and it has been delivered.

If a service court error is discovered after the next service had been delivered, the
error shall not be corrected. If a service court error is discovered before the next
service is delivered, the following rules apply.

If both sides committed an error, it shall be a 'let'. If one side committed the error
and won the rally, it shall be a 'let'. If one side committed the error and lost the rally,
the error shall not be corrected.

If there is a 'let' because of a service court error, the rally is replayed with the error
corrected. If a service court error is not to be corrected, play in that game shall
proceed without changing the player's new service courts.

VIII. Faults

The rules of badminton consider the following as faults:

- If the shuttle lands outside the boundaries of the court, passes through or under
the net, fail to pass the net, touches the ceiling or side walls, touches the person or
dress of a player or touches any other object or person.

- If the initial point of contact with the shuttle is not on the striker's side of the net.
(The striker may, however, follow the shuttle over the net with the racket in the
course of a stroke.)

- If a player touches the net or its supports with racket, person or dress, invades an
opponent's court over the net with racket or person except as permitted.
 - If a player invades an opponent's court under the net with racket or person such
that an opponent is obstructed or distracted or obstructs an opponent, that is
prevents an opponent from making a legal stroke where the shuttle is followed over
the net.

- If a player deliberately distracts an opponent by any action such as shouting or

making gestures.

- If the shuttle is caught and held on the racket and then slung during the execution
of a stroke.

- If the shuttle is hit twice in succession by the same player with two strokes.

- If the shuttle is hit by a player and the player's partner successively or touches a
player's racket and continues towards the back of that player's court.

- If a player is guilty of flagrant, repeated or persistent offences under Law of

Continuous Play, Misconduct, Penalties.

- If, on service, the shuttle is caught on the net and remains suspended on top, or, on
service, after passing over the net is caught in the net.

IX. Lets

'Let' is called by the umpire, or by a player (if there is no umpire), to halt play.

A 'let' may be given for any unforeseen or accidental occurrence. The rules of
badminton consider the following as 'lets':

- If a shuttle is caught in the net and remains suspended on top or, after passing over
the net, is caught in the net, it shall be a 'let' except on service.

- If, during service, the receiver and server are both faulted at the same time, it shall
be a 'let'.

- If the server serves before the receiver is ready, it shall be a 'let'.

- If, during play, the shuttle disintegrates and the base completely separates from the
rest of the shuttle, is shall be a 'let'.
 - If a line judge is unsighted and the umpire is unable to make a decision, it shall be a
'let'.

- A 'let' may occur following a service court error. When a 'let' occurs, the play since
the last service shall not count and the player who served shall serve again, except
where in situations where the Law of Service Court Errors is applicable.

X. Shuttle not in play

A shuttle is not in play when it strikes the net and remains attached there or
suspended on top.

A shuttle is not in play when it strikes the net or post and starts to fall towards the
surface of the court on the striker's side of the net.

A shuttle is not in play when it hits the surface of the court or a 'fault' or 'let' has
occurred.

XI. Continuous play, misconduct, penalties

Play shall be continuous from the first service until the match is concluded, except as
allowed in intervals not exceeding 90 seconds between the first and second games,
and not exceeding 5 minutes between the second and third games

XII. Official and appeals

The referee is in overall charge of the tournament. The umpire, where appointed, is in
charge of the match, the court and its immediate surrounds. The umpire shall report
to the referee. The service judge shall call service faults made by the server should
they occur. A line judge shall indicate whether a shuttle landed 'in' or 'out' on the line
or lines assigned. An official's decision is final on all points of fact for which that
official is responsible.

An umpire shall:

- Upload and enforce the Rules of Badminton and, especially, call a 'fault' or 'let'
should either occur.

- Give a decision on any appeal regarding a point of dispute, if made before the next
service is delivered.
 - Ensure players and spectators are kept informed of the progress of the match.

- Appoint or remove line judges or a service judge in consultation with the referee.

- Where another court official is not appointed, arrange for that official's duties to be
carried out.

- Where an appointed official is unsighted, carry out the official's duties or play a 'let'.

- Record and report to the referee all matters in relation to continuous play,
misconduct and penalties.

- Take to the referee all unsatisfied appeals on questions of law only. (Such appeals
must be made before the next service is delivered, or, if at the end of the game,
before the side that appeals has left the court.)

XIII. Default

Ready to play means that a team must be in the court. A team will not be considered
ready if there is only one player or more than two. If the team is not present 5
minutes after the scheduled starting time, the score will be 15-0 (or 11-0 in women’s)
in favor to the opposing team. If the team is still not present 10 minutes after the
scheduled starting time, the score will be 30-0 (or 22-0 in women’s) and the match
will be officially marked a default.

XIV. Manner of grouping, seeding, and tournament advancement

Regardless of section, delegates can choose their own teammates. Since this event
doesn’t cater the Mixed Doubles event, groupings should be homogenous. Each
group must have their own unique group name to differentiate them from other
teams. Once all groups have submitted their names, seeding will be randomized and
the tournament bracket will then be disseminated. The qualifying round will be a
best-of-1 match. The first round, quarter final, semi-final, and finals rounds will be
best-of-3 matches.
