Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What are the service lines in a singles court?

Answer: Long and narrow

Service lines for singles games are always long and narrow. However, in doubles and mixed, they are short and wide and move back to long and wide after the serve.

2. What is the legal height you are allowed to serve from?

Answer: Anywhere below your waist

Regular serves must be made from the waist or down. If it is served any higher, you risk losing the serve.

Answer: In

Hitting the shuttle with your body is just like hitting it with the racket (save the distance). If he tries to return it, you can just let it drop and get a point, since double hits aren't allowed.

Answer: No

Making the shuttle hit the roof is just like hitting it outside the boundaries. The play would be called out.

5. You are playing a game of doubles. You started the game serving. Let's say that the score is at 8-5, in favor of you. From your field of vision, where on the court will you serve from and to?

Answer: Serve from your right court across to the left

The person that serves first always serves from specific sides. In this case, his "even" side (whereas he serves when the score for them is even) is on the right where his "odd" side (where he serves when the score is odd) is on the left. For their partner it is the exact opposite. Also, you must always serve across to the other side of the court (right to left, left to right).

Answer: The violator loses a point

Pretty straight forward - you are not allowed to hit the net. If you do, the play will be stopped you will lose the serve.

Answer: In

The boundary lines don't end until the edge of the line stops. If any part of the shuttle touches the line, it will be called "in".

Answer: Reach

Reaching isn't allowed because it would never let the opponent return the shuttle.

9. What type of game is a male partnered with a female vs. a female partnered with a male called?

Answer: Mixed Match

Combining guys and girls creates a mixed pair. The same is true with badminton, as a guy and girl partnered together are considered a mixed team.

10. If a player on the court trips and falls down, what play is called?

Answer: The play continues as it normally would

A player falling down is a misjudge of balance, which is a part of being a good badminton player.
