How do you score a badminton?
Asked by Wiki User
A technique for scoring in badminton is aiming for kill points. You don't have to be very good at badminton to do this - all you do need to be good at is aiming. You aim at the kill points near the edges of the boundaries of the court. This will cause your opponent to think that you had hit it out, and they won't try to get it. But when it's in, you get the point. But don't use it too much, seeing as your opponent will learn your trick and then it would become useless. Another technique is to drive your opponent far back on the court and after they return it, you just tip it over the net. If they stay where they were supposed to after the last hit, they wouldn't have been able to get to the birdie in time to hit it back over. However, if they return to their places after every hit, then this trick wouldn't work. One last technique has already been mentioned and that's just tipping the birdie over. A tip is when you don't hit the birdie, but rather, you just gently tap it and instead of soaring over into the opponent's court, it seems to fall across the net and it's so close to the net that most wouldn't try getting it, seeing as if you touch the net, the other team gets a point.
