1 answer

  1. In badminton, the shuttlecock is struck only once by each player (or side) during a rally before it has to pass back over the net. So, typically, it is struck a total of one time per player in a rally.

  2. To win a game of badminton, a player or team must reach 21 points, with at least a 2-point lead. If the score reaches 20-20, a player must win by 2 points.

  3. A volley in badminton ends when the shuttlecock is struck and goes over the net to the opponent's side. It can also end when the shuttlecock hits the ground, goes out of bounds, or when a fault is called.
