Badminton is a game in which opposing players use rackets to hit a shuttle, also called a shuttlecock, back and forth over
a net. British officials in India learned the game, known as poona, and took it to England.
It was played at Badminton, Gloucestershire, in 1873. It was from there that
the game took its English name. Beginning in 1992, badminton became a medal
sport in the Summer Olympic Games.
The Badminton Association of England
established the first standard set of rules for the game in 1895. These rules,
with some changes, are still followed today. Most countries throughout the
world have their own national badminton associations. The International
Badminton Federation (IBF) was founded in 1934. A number of countries compete
every three years for the Thomas Cup for men and the Uber Cup for women.
Playing consists of volleying (hitting) the shuttle back and forth over the net without allowing it to hit the ground. The shuttle is made of feathers or nylon in a cork base. It flies slowly when hit gently. But when hit hard and timed perfectly, it may travel at more than 300 kilometres per hour. However, the shuttle decelerates quickly after a short distance.

It flies slowly when hit gently. But when hit hard and timed perfectly, it may travel at more than 300 kilometres per hour. However, the shuttle decelerates quickly after a short distance.
The badminton racket can be up to 68
centimetres long, and it usually weighs about 100 grams. The badminton net is
152 centimetres high at the centre and 155 centimetres high at the posts. Two
people play singles and
four—two on each side—play doubles.
A mixed doubles team consists of one man and one woman.
The shuttle is served with an underhand
motion into the opponent's service court, diagonally opposite. The server must
hit the shuttle while it is below his or her waist. The racket head must also
be below the serving hand. Only one attempt on the serve is allowed. If the
server fails, then the opponent serves.
The four common strokes in badminton are
known as dear, also
called lob; drop; drive; and
smash. In the clear,
the shuttle soars in a high arc and falls into the court behind the opponent.
In the drop, the shuttle falls gently and just clears the net. The drive is a
hard stroke hit on a straight line. The smash is a hard stroke hit sharply
downward. All four can be forehand or backhand strokes. Much deception is
possible in placing shots and in controlling the shuttle, which often will stop
short in its flight and plunge down to the court.
Scoring. Only the side that is serving can score a point. The server scores (1)
when the opponent lets the shuttle drop to the ground, and (2) by a fault. A
fault occurs when the opponent touches the net or shuttle, returns the
shuttle into or under the net, hits it out of the playing area, or the shuttle
is caught and held on the racket and then slung during a stroke. A men's
singles game consists of 15 points. If the score is tied at 13 all, the side first making that total
has the choice of playing 5 more points or just to 15. If the score
is then tied at 14 all, the
side has the choice of playing 3 more points or just to 15 points. In women's
singles, 11 points constitute the game. There is a choice of 3 more points if
the score is tied at 9 all,
and 2 more if the score is tied at 10 all.
Both men's and women's doubles play to 15 points. A match is the best of three games. The current scoring system in badminton is the 3 x 21 rally point scoring system. This means that three games (i.e. one match) are played to 21 points each, with a required two point difference between scores (meaning scores can go above 21, to a maximum of 30). The Badminton 21 points scoring points scoring system started in the Thomas / Uber Cup 2006.

2016 Thomas and Uber Cup Finals
The Thomas Cup or Men’s World Team Championships
was first staged in 1948-49, and the Uber Cup or Women’s World Team
Championships was added for the first time in 1956-7.
The Thomas Cup, taking place every three years, was
the BWF’s first major international tournament. The idea for the competition
and the donation of the trophy was by the first President of the World body,
Sir George Thomas, legendary player (21 All England titles) and administrator
of the Sport.
The Uber Cup Finals have been held alongside the
Men’s competition since 1984, with both then taking place biennially. The Uber
Cup had previously taken place at three yearly intervals separately to the
Men’s competition but always with a similar format.
The trophy was presented by another famous player and the person whose original idea it was to start a team Championships for Women, the eponymous Betty Uber. Betty Uber also made the draw for the 1956-7 inaugural tournament which took place at Lytham St Annes in Lancashire, England.
