6. GENERAL OBJECTIVES
This module was meant to classify in the study of physical education.
Every individual differs from each other. Most of us differ in our skills in the
different sports. This module contains and tackles every essential aspect concerning
Badminton. It may help to develop the knowledge and skills of the students in
different sports.
This module becomes the wall that separates us from our loved ones.
We have missed wonderful Christmas holiday. However, this was not all
wasted when we came out with a masterpiece that we would treasure a lot.
The development of skills and abilities in Badminton is mainly the
focal point in this module. Aside from this the students would also learn how
to play the game.
Every chapter has focus objectives and questions. The questions in
every lessons and chapters would set as a guide for them to not just read the
book but also to understand it.
7. The student researchers had expanded the ideas
and information intergraded in this module. We
made the statements simple and valid so that the
students can easily understand our main point of
view. We also provide activities in this module that
will enhance and test what you have learned as you
go along in this book. The activities injected in this
module have the ability to explore the broad
imagination of the students and awaken the sleeping
abilities of the students in this sport. Each chapter
and lesson has main objectives to develop the
students.
[
Chapter 1 consists of 2 lessons devoted to the
history of Badminton. In this chapter the students
are being introduced in the sport in such manner
that they would develop their appreciative ability in
the legacy of table tennis in the whole world.
Students are expected to know what table tennis
really is all about.
8. Chapter 2 dwells on the equipments used in
table tennis. In this chapter, the students are
introduced to the different equipment. Students are
likely to know the importance of the different
equipment in playing this sport.
Chapter 3 is concerned with playing the table
tennis, its basic techniques and types of game
played. The reader would therefore develop
psychomotor skills in performing different activities
in this chapter.
Chapter 4 focuses in the roles of the officials in
a badminton game. The reader would also develop
psychomotor skills in performing the different hand
signals of the umpires and different task of other
official would more likely to be discussed.
9. Chapter 5 deviates on the world’s most
famous badminton players. Students would
develop their appreciative skills and may
also be inspired to pursue a career in this
sport.
At the end of this book the students are
now ready to impart the knowledge they
have learned they absorbed from this
module. The students are able to obtain the
mastery in playing this sport.
The Authors
10. When we started doing something like this module, it
never crosses our mind that this one would be a very difficult
task. Why? It’s because when we think of students who has a
deep thirst for knowledge all the worries and difficulties are swept
away. We felt that even if I were too young, we know that we can
make an educational tool. We are only 2nd year Bachelor of
Secondary Education students and we have a doubt that we can
make one. But when we see students who are who are too much
irritated of searching in the libraries without finding any complete
reference, our determination gets stronger and intense. As we
look our self again we always kept in our mind that everything is
possible, that we
11. are bigger and stronger than all the difficulties
and those we might encounter in making this
module.
The students are the main reason why we
choose to make an educational tool like this.
Whenever we visit libraries, one thing that we really
observe was they lack references in the curriculum
of MAPEH. Although there are some references in
MAPEH but most libraries lacks references on
MAPEH.
That’s why we do this educational tool not only
for the purpose of creating an educational
reference but also to spread this book in a broad
numbers of effective consumers. This reference
was not just a simple compilation of facts about
table tennis but also this module was made to
complement the ever changing needs of the
12. The real aim of this module is to develop
student who has full potentials in table
tennis. Skilled players sometimes lack with
the real knowledge of badminton. We believe
that skilled players should also not only be
efficient in skills but also a player must be
good on understanding facts ad information
regarding the game of table tennis.
After reading the 5 chapters of this
module the students are expected to be able
to:
13. appreciate and understand the history of badminton;
recognize the different badminton tools, equipments and
playing area;
use properly the different badminton equipments;
understand the different types of game in badminton;
perform the different skills in a badminton racquet;
learn how to officiate a badminton game;
interpolate rules and regulations of badminton;
learn the duties and responsibilities of the officials;
perform the different hand signals in a badminton game;
appreciate the world’s most famous badminton players.
recognize some famous badminton players in the world.
If the following objective has been achieved, then we can
generalize that the students have really learned a lot from this
educational tool.
We are hoping that this simple educational tool would really help a
lot in the development of the students learning.

22. Getting to Know What Badminton is
Chapter Objectives:
After studying this chapter, the students are expected to be able to:
define what Badminton is;
recall, understand and appreciate the history of Badminton;
discuss the important details about Badminton;
play the game properly.
23. LESSON 1.1 Badminton
Objectives:
After studying this lesson, the students are expected to be able to:
define what Badminton is;
appreciate the importance of Badminton;
discuss the important details about Badminton.
24. 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 that is divided by a net. Players score
points by striking a shuttlecock with their racquet so that
it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of
the court. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the
ground, and each side may only strike the shuttlecock
once before it passes over the net.
The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile
whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly
differently from the balls used in most racquet sports; in
particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing
the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball.
Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when
compared to other racquet sports. Because shuttlecock
flight is affected by wind, competitive badminton is played
indoors. Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual
recreational activity, often as a garden or beach game.
25. Since 2009, badminton has been an
Olympic sport with five events: men's and
women's singles, men's and women's
doubles, and mixed doubles, in which each
pair consists of a man and a woman. At high
levels of play, the sport demands excellent
fitness: players require aerobic
stamina, agility, strength, speed and
precision. It is also a technical
sport, requiring good motor coordination and
the development of sophisticated racquet mo

After studying this lesson, the students are expected to be able
to:
define what Badminton is;
appreciate the importance of Badminton;
discuss the important details about Badminton.
27. Badminton was invented long ago; a
form of sport played in ancient Greece and
Egypt. Badminton came from a child’s game
called battledore and shuttlecock, in which
two players hit a feathered shuttlecock back
and forth with tiny rackets. The game was
called “POONA” in India during the 18th
Century; British Army Officers stationed
there took the Indian version back to
England in the 1860’s. The army men
introduced the game to the friends, but the
new sport was definitely launched there at a
party given in Gloucestershire. During that
time, the game had no name, but it was

army men introduced the game to the friends, but the
new sport was definitely launched there at a party
given in Gloucestershire. During that time, the game
had no name, but it was referred to as “The Game of
Badminton” and, Badminton became its official name.
29. Until 1887 the sport was played in England under
the rules that prevailed in India. They were, from the
English viewpoint, somewhat contradictory and
confusing. Since a small army of badminton players
had been recruited, a group formed itself into the
Bath Badminton Club, standardized the rules, and
made the game applicable to English ideas and the
basic regulations: drawn up in 1887, still guide the
sport. In 1895, the Badminton Association (of
England) was formed to tale over the authority of the
Bath Badminton Club, and the new group made
rules, which now govern the game throughout the
world.
The International Badminton Federation (IBF) (now known as
Badminton World Federation) was established in 1934 with
Canada, Denmark, England, France, Ireland, New
Zealand, Scotland and Wales as its founding members. India
joined as an affiliate in 1936. The BWF now governs international
badminton and develops the sport globally.

Facilities and Equipments
Chapter Objectives:
After studying this chapter, the students are expected to be able to:
•identify the different facilities and equipments in Badminton;
•appreciate the uses of the different equipments in Badminton;
•give importance to all the facilities and equipments in Badminton;
•use the equipments properly.
33. LESSON 2.1
The Racket
Objectives:
After studying this lesson, the students are expected to be able to:
define what racquet is;
appreciate the importance of racquets in Badminton game;
use the racquets properly in playing Badminton.
34. Badminton racquets are light, with top quality
racquets weighing between 79 and 95 grams including the
strings. They are composed of many different materials
ranging from the carbon fiber composite (graphite
reinforced plastic) to solid steel, which may be augmented
by a variety of materials. The racquet shall be a frame not
exceeding 680 mm in overall length and 230 mm in
overall width consisting of the main parts described in the
figure 2.1A.
Components of the Badminton Racquet
Handle is the part of the racquet intended to be gripped by
a player.
Stringed area is the part of the racquet with which it is
intended that a player hits the shuttle.
Head bounds the stringed area.
Throat (if present) connects the shaft to the head.
36. LESSON 2.2
The Shuttlecock
Objectives:
After studying this lesson, the students are expected to be
able to:
define what shuttlecock is;
differentiate shuttlecock with feathers and shuttlecock with
plastic skirt;
appreciate the uses of shuttlecock in the Badminton game;
use the shuttlecock properly in the Badminton match.
37. A shuttlecock is a high-drag projectile used in the game of
badminton. It has an open conical shape: the cone is formed
from sixteen overlapping goose feathers embedded into a
rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather.
The shuttlecock's shape makes it extremely aerodynamically
stable. Regardless of initial orientation, it will turn to fly cork
first, and remain in the cork-first orientation.
The name shuttlecock is frequently shortened to shuttle.
The "shuttle" part of the name was probably derived from its
back-and-forth motion during the game, resembling the shuttle
of a loom; the "cock" part of the name was probably derived from
the resemblance of the feathers to those on a cockerel.
38. The feathers are brittle; shuttlecocks break
easily and often need to be replaced several
times during a game. For this reason, synthetic
shuttlecocks have been developed that replace
the feathers with a plastic skirt. Players often
refer to synthetic shuttlecocks as plastics and
feathered shuttlecocks as feathers.
The cost of good quality feathers is similar to
that of good quality plastics, but plastics are far
more durable, typically lasting many matches
without any impairment to their flight. For this
reason, many clubs prefer to play with plastics.
39. The playing characteristics of plastics and
feathers are substantially different. Plastics fly
more slowly on initial impact, but slow down
less towards the end of their flight. Feather
shuttles may come off the strings at speeds
in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph) but slow
down faster as they drop. For this reason, the
feather shuttle makes the game seem
faster, but also allows more time to play
strokes.
40. Most experienced and skillful players greatly
prefer feathers, and serious tournaments or
leagues are always played using feather
shuttlecocks. Experienced players generally
prefer the "feel" of feathered shuttlecocks, and
assert that they are better able to control the
flight of feathers than of plastics. Because feather
shuttles fly more quickly off the racquet face they
also tend to cause less shoulder impact and
injury. In Asia, where feather shuttlecocks are
more affordable than in Europe and North
America, plastic shuttlecocks are hardly used at
all. All senior international tournaments use only
feather shuttlecocks of the highest quality (kings
of the court).
42. LESSON 2.3
The Net and the Post
Objectives:
After studying this lesson, the students are expected to be able to:
define what net and posts are;
appreciate the importance of net and posts in the Badminton
game;
place the net and posts properly for the Badminton match.
43. A badminton court is a rectangular
space, 44 feet long X 17 feet wide for a
single's match and 44 feet long X 20 feet
wide for a double’s match. It is normally
made out of wood or composite flooring
surface. The idea is for it to be smooth and
leveled. A minimum of 6.5 feet of clear
space on all four sides is required.
The court is divided into two halves by a
net. The next obvious question is- how
high is badminton net? The net is supposed
to be 5 feet 1 inch on the edges and 5 feet
in the centre. The poles that support the net
are planted outside the double’s line even
44. Badminton nets are now available in a range of
materials, from polyethylene, to nylon, to vinyl. The
basic criterion when picking up a net should be to
check for durability and strength.
The net should be made of fine natural cord or
artificial fiber of a dark color of even
thickness, minimum being 15mm and maximum
20mm. The first thing to be taken care of when
setting up the court is to check how high is the
badminton net.
Also ensure that the net is properly extended
between the poles. The depth of the net should be
2 feet 6 inches. The net should be edged with
75mm white tape doubled and supported by a cord
or cable that is stretched over the posts.
45.
46. LESSON 2.4
The Court
Objectives:
After studying this lesson, the students are expected to
be able to:
identify the proper measurement of the Badminton court ;
appreciate the importance of the court to the Badminton
game; and
use the court properly in the Badminton match.
47. The overall dimension of a badminton court is 20
feet by 44 feet. The lines along these measurements
mark the sidelines for doubles play and long service
lines for singles play.
The Net Line
The net line marks the middle of the court where
the net is placed, creating a 22 feet by 20 feet area
on each side of the net.
Short Service Line
The short service line is marked 6 feet 6 inches
(some are marked 7 feet) from the center line. The
area inside the short service line is also called the
Non Volley Zone.
Center Line
The center line is the line that divides the court
from the Short Service Line to the Back Boundary
Line. This delineates the Left from Right Service
48. Side Line for Singles Play
The singles side line is marked 1 1/2
feet from the edge of the outer boundary
(doubles side line)
Back Boundary Line and Long Service Line for
Singles
The back boundary line is the same for
singles and doubles play it is the outermost
back line on the court.
Long Service Line for Doubles
The long service line for Doubles is
marked 2 1/2 feet inside the Back Boundary
Line.

Let’s Play Badminton!
Chapter Objectives:
After studying this chapter, the students are expected to be able to:
identify all the badminton skills;
select what skills are more effective or fitted to them;
show interest in doing the skills; and
participate actively in playing the game.
53. LESSON 3.1
Singles
Objectives:
After studying this lesson, the students are expected to be able
to:
explain what singles is;
show sportsmanship while playing singles; and
play skillfully the singles.
54. The singles court is narrower than the doubles court, but
the same length, serve in the single and double back box is
out. Since one person needs to cover the entire court, singles
tactics are based on forcing the opponent to move as much
as possible; this means that singles strokes are normally
directed to the corners of the court. Players exploit the length
of the court by combining lifts and clears with drop shots and
net shots. Smashing is less prominent in singles than in
doubles because players are rarely in the ideal position to
execute a smash, and smashing often leaves the smasher
vulnerable if the smash is returned.
In singles, players will often start the rally with a
forehand high serve. Low serves are also used
frequently, either forehand or backhand. Flick serves are less
common, and drive serves are rare.
At high levels of play, singles demands extraordinary
fitness. Singles is a game of patient positional
maneuvering, unlike the all-out aggression of doubles
55. A left-handed player has a natural advantage
against a right-handed player. This is because there
are more right-handed players in the world (you are
not used to playing them). When you play a
southpaw, the forehand and backhand are
reversed, so that a shot to your right of the court (the
backhand of right-handed players) will result in a
very powerful smash against you. Because of
this, left-handed players tend to have more shots
directed to their forehand, and consequently their
backhand is not properly trained. Therefore, the main
weakness of a southpaw is his backhand. Knowing
this, a left-handed player should try to direct most of
his shots to the left side of the court.
56. That is because even though it is the forehand of
a right-handed person, the return of that shot will
also be on your forehand (it is much harder to
perform a cross-court shot than a parallel shot). That
will ensure that you can keep smashing. It is said that
left-handers have better smashes. It is partly true
because of the rare angles that a left-hander is
capable of producing (a parallel smash on the left
side of the court, rather than a slightly angled
shot), and also because the feathers on the
shuttlecock are placed in a way that favors a left-
handed shot (the shuttlecock will have more speed
when sliced with a left-handed person's
forehand, thus producing a much more powerful
smash). Though, a left-handed player himself will be
confused when playing a fellow counterpart.
57. LESSON 3.2
Doubles
Objectives:
After studying this lesson, the students are expected to be
able to:
explain what doubles is;
show sportsmanship while playing doubles; and
play skillfully the doubles.
58. Both pairs will try to gain and maintain the
attack, smashing downwards when possible. Whenever
possible, a pair will adopt an ideal attacking formation
with one player hitting down from the rearcourt, and his
partner in the midcourt intercepting all smash returns
except the lift. If the rearcourt attacker plays a
dropshot, his partner will move into the forecourt to
threaten the net reply. If a pair cannot hit downwards, they
will use flat strokes in an attempt to gain the attack. If a
pair is forced to lift or clear the shuttlecock, then they
must defend: they will adopt a side-by-side position in the
rear midcourt, to cover the full width of their court against
the opponents' smashes. In doubles, players generally
smash to the middle ground between two players in order
to take advantage of confusion and clashes.
59. At high levels of play, the backhand serve has
become popular to the extent that forehand
serves almost never appear in professional
games. The straight low serve is used most
frequently, in an attempt to prevent the
opponents gaining the attack immediately. Flick
serves are used to prevent the opponent from
anticipating the low serve and attacking it
decisively.
At high levels of play, doubles rallies are
extremely fast. Men's doubles is the most
aggressive form of badminton, with a high
proportion of powerful jump smashes.
60. Left handed/Right handed doubles pair
The LH/RH doubles pair is very common at advanced levels
of play. That is because they have a distinct advantage over a
RH/RH or LH/LH pair. The most notable advantage is that neither
side of the court is a weak side. This makes it so that the
opposing team has to use more time to think of which side is the
backhand and send it there, because against a normal RH/RH
pair, you would usually almost always send it to your right side
of the court, whilst against a LH/RH pair the weak side changes
during the rally. Another advantage is also in the smash of a left-
handed player. The feathers of a shuttlecock are placed to have a
natural spin, so when slightly slicing the shuttlecock with a left-
handed shot, you counter that natural spin which creates drag
and produce a faster smash. The same effect goes when a right-
handed player slices the shot with his backhand. A very good
example of this is Tan Boon Heong, a left-handed player who
holds the world record with a (421 km/h) smash.
61. LESSON 3.3
Mixed Doubles
Objectives:
After studying this lesson, the students are expected to be
able to:
explain what mixed doubles is;
show sportsmanship while playing mixed doubles;
and
play skillfully the mixed doubles.
62. If do not have trouble with boy - girl
relationships, mixed doubles is the most
challenging of the three doubles played in
badminton. It combines the power and ability to
cover a significant amount of court for the
man, and the finesse and touch of a woman.
Mixed doubles is sometimes referred to as
"singles with interference." This is because of the
impression that the woman cannot compete in
the back court or on even terms with the man.
The man controls the play so that most of the
birds are returned in his direction. The woman is
allowed an occasional shot at the net just to say
she is playing the game.
63. In basic mixed doubles, the man will cover
the majority of the shots in the back court while
the woman will cut off any weak shot at the net.
In some cases, the woman may be stronger than
the man and will cover more of the court. In
other cases, both may be of equal skills and will
play regular doubles with each sharing their time
in the back court. For this article, however, the
man is assumed to be of superior strength and
power and the pair will use the traditional "front
and back" formation. Of course, the ultimate
object of each individual in the pair is to realize
their strengths and weaknesses and maximize
their abilities to produce a winning game.
64. The front and back system in mixed doubles is
the basic style of attack with the woman ready to hit
down all shuttles at the front of the court and her
partner ready to smash from the back. As the woman
is closer to the net and has less time to react to the
opponents' shots, her basic area of responsibility is in
front of the service line. She must be careful not to
reach behind her for shots that she may lift to the
opponents. She must hold her racket up at all
times, ready to make short jabs (not a full swing) on
shots close to the net. The man must have finesse
and strength to return shots that can not be smashed
by the opponents. Both partners must avoid lifting or
clearing to the back at all costs, since this front and
back formation is very vulnerable to drop shots and
smashes, directed down the line or cross-court.
65. In this formation, the woman should never
look around to see what her partner is doing; she
should constantly watch the movements of the
opponents. This will tell her from what direction
of their court to expect their return and also give
her a good idea what type of return the
opponents will make. Both partners must be
adept at setting up the opponents so that one of
the partners can obtain a kill. In preparation for a
match, a pair must first plan an overall strategy
on the strengths and weaknesses of an
opponent's game. They must find the answer to
any shot the opponents may try - often what
works for the opponents also works against them
as well. Brains, tactics, and the ability to play
consistently (that is, NO UNFORCED ERRORS)
often become the winning ingredients.
66. In mixed doubles, both pairs try to
maintain an attacking formation with the
woman at the front and the man at the back.
This is because the male players are
substantially stronger, and can therefore
produce smashes that are more powerful. As
a result, mixed doubles requires greater
tactical awareness and subtler positional play.
Clever opponents will try to reverse the ideal
position, by forcing the woman towards the
back or the man towards the front. In order
to protect against this danger, mixed players
must be careful and systematic in their shot
selection.
67. At high levels of play, the formations will
generally be more flexible: the top women
players are capable of playing powerfully
from the rear court, and will happily do so if
required. When the opportunity
arises, however, the pair will switch back to
the standard mixed attacking position, with
the woman in front.
68. Racquet Skills Basic
Technique
LESSON 3.4
Objectives:
After studying this lesson, the students are expected to be
able to:
determine the different racquet skills;
show sportsmanship while playing a game; and
use the different racquet skills in playing Badminton.
69. SERVE
Position yourself so your side is to the net.
Your non-dominant side is closest to the net.
Hold the shuttle (non dominant hand) just below shoulder
height.
Your dominant arm extended back (holding racket) with
weight on the back foot.
Drop shuttle.
Shift weight forward, and swing racket downward and
forward.
Keep wrist your wrist in a cocked position until the shuttle
is contacted.
Continue to move your body forward.
Racket should contact the shuttle at a low level below
knee.
Follow-through with a strong wrist snaps upon contact.
Quickly assume a ready position to return the shot from
your opponent.
71. BACKHAND
The stroke used to return balls
hit to the left of a right-handed
player and to the right of a left-
handed player.
72.
73. FOREHAND
The stroke used to return a ball hit to the
right of a right-handed player and to the left
of a left-handed player.
74.
75. DRIVES
This is a quick hit with not much arc.
It is like a "line drive" in baseball.
The racket contacts the shuttle in a
straight up and down position so the
flight is straight.
Lead the movement with the elbow.
Hit the shuttle with the wrist cocked.
76. DROP SHOTS/BLOCKS
The shuttle is hit so it gently drops just
over the net and lands in the front of the
opponent’s court.
The block is used as quick reflex action to
a drive or smash. Just get your racket in front
of the oncoming shuttle and try to return the
shuttle just above the net.
77.
78. CLEARS
A shot hit deep to the opponents back to boundary line.
The high clear is a defensive shot, while the flatter attacking clear
is used offensively.
Underhand
Same motion as the serve.
Overhead
Anticipate; take the racket into the back scratching position, with
weight on the back foot.
Hit the shuttle with a fully extended arm swing.
Snap the wrist to increase the strength of the shot.
The face of the racket is open so that the shuttle will return with a
deep and long arch.
Continue the transfer of weight forward with a smooth follow-
through.
79.
80.
81. SMASHES
The motion is the same as the overhead
clear except the face of the racket is closed
and the shuttle is usually hit when the shuttle
is in front of the body.
Hard-hit overhead shot that forces the
shuttle sharply downward.
Badminton’s primary attacking stroke.
82.
83.
84. FLICK
A quick wrist-and-forearm rotation used
to surprise an opponent by changing an
apparently soft shot into a faster passing
shot.
HAIRPIN NET SHOT
A shot made from below and very close to
the net and causing the shuttle to rise, just
clear the net, then drop sharply down the
other side so that the flight of the shuttlecock
resembles the shape of a hairpin.
85. HALFCOURT SHOT
A shot hit low and to midcourt, used
effectively in doubles play against the up-and-
back formation.
KILL
A fast downward shot that cannot be returned.
RALLY
A sequence of one or more strokes starting
with the service, until the shuttle ceases to be in
play.
STROKE
A forward movement of the player’s racket.

A. Supply the missing words.
1.
The __________ court is narrower than the __________ court, but the same
length, serve in the single and double back box is out. Since one person needs to cover
the entire __________, singles tactics are based on forcing the opponent to move as
much as possible; this means that singles __________ are normally directed to the
corners of the court. Players exploit the length of the court by combining __________
and __________ with drop __________ and net shots. 8. ________ is less prominent in
singles than in doubles because players are rarely in the ideal position to execute a
__________ and smashing often leaves the __________ vulnerable if the smash is
returned.
2.
In __________, both pairs try to maintain an attacking formation with the
__________ at the front and the _________ at the back. This is because the male
__________ are substantially stronger, and can therefore produce __________ that are

side shall be considered to be a persistent offence; or
in cases of flagrant offence, persistent offences, the
umpire shall fault the offending side and report the
offending side immediately to the Referee, who shall have the
power to disqualify the offending side from the match.
114. LESSON 4.3 Duties and Responsibilities of
the Officials
Objectives:
After studying this lesson, the students are expected to be able to:
identify who are the officials involved in officiating a
badminton match;
give respect to the officials of the game;
perform the duties of the officials; and
act as the officials of the badminton match.
115. In any sports, there must be officials who will
officiate the game. In order to have a satisfying
game, the officials must be good in all aspects of
being officials. Without effective officials the game
could not played well. Good officiating brings all the
best playing ability of each player, while poor
officiating may ruin the game. But good officials are
not easily made. They are result of many years of
study, practice and experiences gained through
actual officiating.
The primary job of the officials is to ensure that
the game progresses according to the rules. They
must be committed to fulfill the following
responsibilities:
116. See that the game proceeds within the
context of the rules of the game.
Interfere as little as possible, never
seeking to become the focus of the attention.
Set and maintain an atmosphere for the
enjoyment of the game.
Show concern for the players.
The officials must ensure the outcomes of
the game are dependent on the skills and
tactics of the players. Good officials make
everybody happy and contented.
117. Officials and their Duties in a Badminton Match
The referee is in overall charge of the tournament or event of which
a match forms a part.
The umpire reports to act under the authority of the referee or is
responsible to the officials in the absence of the referee.
Before the match:
Secures the score sheet from the head referee.
Sees that all materials needed for scoring are in order.
Inspects the posts, net and court.
Sees to it that the service judge and linesmen are doing their task
Make sure that plenty of new shuttlecocks are at hand.
Reports to the head referee the break of the rules.
118. At the beginning of and during the game:
Make sure that the tossing of the coin is properly done.
Implements the rules without objection among the players.
Decides on objections and protests before the service.
Informs the players, as well as the spectators, about the progress of the
game.
Places or removes officials upon consolation with the head referee.
Tolerates by the decision of the service judge and linesmen.
Receives from the head referee the appeals and protests by either player or
team.
The service judges are normally appointed by the referee but can
be removed by the umpire in consultation with the referee.
The official’s decision is final on all points of fact for which that
official is responsible.
119. Functions of every judges:
1 line judge would watch the whole of the far side line, from either
position 3 or 8. This line judge should be careful to not call the
back line, as this could be construed as being "unfair" since the
opposite back line is not being called.
2 line judges would usually watch both side lines, from position 1
or 10 and from position 3 or 8. Umpires will often get these line
judges to also watch the back lines on each side and the back
service line for doubles.
3 line judges would watch the far side line, from either position 3
or 8, and the two back lines, from positions 4 and 7.
4 line judges would watch both side lines, from position 1 or 10
and from position 3 or 8, and the two back lines, from positions
4 and 7.
5 line judges (unusual) would watch both side lines, from position
1 or 10 and from position 3 or 8, and the two back lines, from
positions 4 and 7, as well as the centre service lines, from
position 2 or 9.
120. 6 line judges would watch both side lines, from position
1, 3, 8 and 10, and the two back lines, from positions 4 and 7.
Note that the side line judges now only have to watch the line up
to the net post.
7 line judges (unusual) would watch both side lines, from
position 1, 3, 8 and and 10, and the two back lines, from
positions 4 and 7, as well as the centre service lines, from
position 2 or 9. Note that the side line judges now only have to
watch the line up to the net post, but the centre line judge has to
watch both centre lines, on the close and far sides of the net.
8 line judges would watch both side lines, from position
1, 3, 8 and 10, and the two back lines, from positions 4 and 7, as
well as the centre service lines, from positions 2 and
9. Note that the side line judges now only have to watch the
line up to the net post, and each centre service line judge only
has to watch the service line closest to them.
10 line judges watch all lines from positions 1 through 10.
121. Linesmen decide whether the shuttle fell inside or
outside the court. If the shuttle lands out, no matter
how far, the linemen should call “out” promptly in
clear voice, loud enough to be heard by the players
and spectators and at the same time signal by
extending both arms horizontally so that the umpire
can see clearly. Of the shuttle lands in, the lineman
shall say nothing but point to the line with the right
hand.
The scorer records the points scored by each
player and certifies the winner or loser of the game.
122. For the referee:
The referee uses hand signals to help
fencers understand the phrasing. This is
particularly important in international
competitions when language can be a barrier.
123. 'On Guard'
The referee will make this signal to call you
into your on guard position. Remember this is
an order from the ref not a suggestion -
failure to come on guard is an offence.
124. 'Ready'
The referee makes this signal to check both
fencers are ready to begin. If you are not
ready lift your hand and call 'halt'.
126. 'Halt!'
Immediately stop fencing, failure to obey is an offence.
The referee will usually hold up his right hand for this
signal unless the halt has been caused by something
specifically to do with the left hand fencer e.g. unsafe
weapon.
127. 'Attack from my left/right'
This signal demonstrates which fencer initially
attacks. If the left hand is raised the fencer to the
referee's left is considered the attacker if the right
hand is raised the right fencer is considered the
attacker.
128. 'Hits
'Used to show which fencer hits. If the left hand
is raised it shows the left fencer has been hit
by the right and the opposite if the right is
raised.
129. 'Point awarded to my left/right'
The referee signals to whom he is awarding the point if the left
hand is raised the point goes to the fencer on his left and vice-
versa. In Epée if both hands are raised it means both fencers
receive a point.
132. 'Parried'
This hand signal is used when a fencer successfully
parries an attack. If the left hand is up the left
hand fencer has performed the parry and vice-
versa.
133. 'Point in-line'
The referee here indicates that one of the fencers
established point in-line against his/her
opponent. If the left arm is raised it shows that
the fencer to the referee's right took point in-line
and vice-versa.
134. 'Fails/Miss'
This signal shows that the action of one of the
fencers has failed to hit either on or off
target. If the left hand is raised it shows that
the fencer on the right has missed and vice-
versa.
135. If the shuttle lands out, no matter how far, call "Out"
promptly in a clear voice, loud enough to be heard
by the players and the spectators and, at the same
time, signal by extending both arms horizontally so
that the umpire can see clearly.
136. Notes:
As in the diagram, the palms of the hands
are facing the court, so that the thumb is
uppermost.
Hold the signal momentarily and make eye
contact with the umpire, who should
acknowledge your call.
The call should, in particular, be loud
enough to be heard by the umpire.
137. When the Shuttle is “In”
If the shuttle lands in, say nothing, but point to
the line with your right hand.
138. Notes:
There is no call.
As in the diagram, the fingers are held together with the
palm facing the floor. Lean forward slightly when making
the call and (preferably) use your right hand. Do not use
both hands to make this signal.
Hold the signal momentarily and make eye contact with the
umpire who should acknowledge your call.
Any shuttle touching the line on its initial contact with the
floor is "IN".
Most of the weight of a shuttle is in its base, and when it is
smashed or falls, it will almost always land base first. In
the case of a smash, of course, the side of the shuttle and
feathers will make almost instantaneous contact with the
floor. It is the moment of first contact, however, which is
"initial", and which must be called or signaled.
139. When the Line Judge is Unsighted
If unsighted, inform the umpire immediately by
holding your hands to cover your eyes.
140. Notes:
There is no call.
As in the diagram, raise both hands to cover
the eyes. Do not cross your arms/hands over.
The signal is NOT to be used to avoid making
a difficult decision!
If a line judge is truly unsighted, (e.g. a
player's feet obscure the line and the shuttle at
the crucial moment) and cannot make a
decision, this signal is used, and the umpire
either makes the decision, or plays a "Let".
141. Calls at line intersections
Remember: A line judge calls a landed shuttle
ONLY in relation to the line(s) assigned.
In the following example, line judge 3 (LJ3) is
calling the side line and line judge 4 (LJ4) is
calling the back line for a doubles match.
142.
143. Line Judge 3
Line Judge 4
Signals/Calls for Shuttle W
IN
IN
Signals/Calls for Shuttle X
IN
OUT
Signals/Calls for Shuttle Y
OUT
OUT
Signals/Calls for Shuttle Z
OUT
IN
144. Notes:
The umpire needs only one "Out" call to
determine that the shuttle is out. For shuttles
"X" and "Z" there would be one "Out" call. For
shuttle "Y" there would be two "Out" calls. For
shuttle "W", there are no "Out" calls, so the
shuttle is in.
Line judge 3 would call/signal shuttle "X"
as "In" (relevant only to the sideline), while
line judge 4 would signal shuttle "Z" as "In"
(relevant only to the back line).
The same principle applies where any two
lines of the court intercept.
145. Position of Line Judges
Where practical, it is recommended that
the line judges’ positions be 2.5 to 3.5
meters from the court boundaries and, in any
arrangement, the line judges’ positions be
protected from encroachment by any outside
influence, e.g. by photographers.
146. Notes:
Positions 1, 2, 3 and 8, 9, 10 call the lines only as far as
the net.
Positions 4, 5, 6 and 7 call the full width of the court.
Positions 4 and 7 will, in the case of doubles only, call the
inside line for receiving the serve and the base line for
the rest of the rally.
Positions 2 and 9 must continually be alert as to which
side is being served to.
Positions 1, 3, 8 and 10 will reposition to the inside line
for singles.
Should circumstances require it (e.g. an advertising A
frame may need to be forward for television viewing
purposes), positions 2 and 9 may be further from the
court boundary, as their line to call is shorter.
