Question

what are the latest general rules of batminton​

Answer 1

Several changes to world badminton, some already approved and others awaiting ratification at the Badminton World Federation’s (BWF) Annual General Meeting in Bangkok on May 19, have left some of the sport’s top players and coaches flummoxed and wondering what the future holds.

While a controversial new rule related to players’ serves was introduced from March 1 and will be implemented on a broader scale at the badminton season’s biggest event so far, the prestigious All England Open in Birmingham from March 14-18, the BWF’s proposal to reduce on-court coaching and tweak the scoring system has been criticised. The formal proposals from the BWF Council are to be circulated on March 30 to the membership in preparation for the AGM.
Ahead of the All England Open, here is what you need to know about the BWF’s changes and the ones proposed.

What are the rules in question?

1. The first rule says a shuttlecock shall be held less than 1.15 metres (3.8 feet) from a court's surface before serving. The previous rule stated that the shuttle had to be below a players’s waist when it is hit. The new rule came into effect from March 1 and will be introduced at the All England Open.

2. The second, which will need to be endorsed at the BWF’s AGM in May before implementation on the international stage, is a proposal to tweak the scoring system. The BWF has called for a best-of-five format instead of the existing three-game structure, and that games be reduced to 11 points instead of the current 21 points.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.

Every time there is a serve – there is a point scored.

The side winning a rally adds a point to its score.

At 20 all, the side which gains a 2 point lead first, wins that game.

At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game.
