Badminton

An Umpire is in control of a particular match, usually called a rubber, and has to know the rules of Badminton and ensure the game is played fairly within the rules. The most obvious job is to keep the score, calling it out between points so that the players and spectators know the score.

The Umpire is also required to call any faults and sort any problems during the games.

Umpires also act as Service Judges and work as a team with the Umpire when both are on court.

The Umpire reports any problems to the Referee who has the final say at the event.

the four different tricks are mainly-

1. badminton clears

2. badminton drop shots

3. badminton drives

4. badminton smash

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, and British Army Officers stationed there took the Indian version back to England in the 1860's. The army men introduced the game to friends, but the new sport was definitely launched there at a party given in 1873 by the Duke of Beaufort at his country place, "Badminton" in Gloucestershire. During that time, the game had no name, but it was referred to as "The Game of Badminton," and, thereupon, Badminton became its official name.

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, 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 take over the authority of the Bath Badminton Club, and the new group made rules, which now govern the game throughout the world.

To win a match, a team must win 2 out of 3 games in the match. Each game consists of 21 points rally scoring. So, service depends on which side wins the points. If team A is playing team B and team B wins a point, the service goes to team B. If team A then wins a point, service switches to team A, and so on and so forth. There is no set number of serves in a doubles match, it merely depends on the score of the game and which teams are serving.

a badminton racket, a shuttlecock and sometimes people use a net

Open skills include golf, netball, cricket, hocket etc. In these games the person performing the skill can be influenced by factors such as the wind or crowd.

Most of the most dominate players all come and play for China. Yang Yang( china) has won the Badmminton World Champinships men's singles twice. China's Zhang Ning is one of the best woman badminton players in the history of the sport. She has many impressive accomplishes such as being the only player male or female to win consecutive Olympic singles gold medals. She also has won eight tournaments in her outstanding career. In addition, China's Lin Dan is the best male player in the world. Lin Dan is the best men's singles badminton player in the world. He has had a phenomenal career recently winning gold in the 2008 Summer Olympics. He also won nine top tier international championships between 2002 and 2004. He doesn't show any signs of slowing down either. There are other good Chinese players such as Chen Jin, Xie Xang Fang and Du Jing whom all medaled in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Lin Dan(mentioned above) also has the same record as Yang Yang but his is more recently( 2006 and 2007) China has won so many titles, gold medals, Sudirman cups and many more.
Perhaps the most famous male badminton player is the Chinese Lin Dan, who won the gold medal in the Olympics several times.

An important skill needed to participate in badminton is hand-eye coordination which allows a player to use their racquet to precisely hit the birdie. Another important skill is agility. Agility helps a player move quickly about the court. The ability to be a team player is important when playing doubles.

yes they do they use a chair, pen, watch and eyes

Badminton took its name from the Gloucestershire seat of the dukes of Beaufort, (England) where it is believed to have evolved in the 1870s from the older game of shuttlecock. The original name of Badminton was Ha Ha

If it is an even number, (which, in the beginning, it will be,) you serve from the right. If it is an odd number, you serve from the left. The same person keeps serving until they break their rally.

Yes it is as long as it never touches the ground on your side. Yes it is as long as it never touches the ground on your side. Yes it is as long as it never touches the ground on your side.

To return a doubles serve.

To push an oppenent back very quickly after a drop if you catch the bird high enough on your forehand side.

It is preferred by most players and is most convenient to use backhand drives because the grip can provide more strength and can cover more area.

Power from the wrist is needed greatly in badminton because using power to drive your opponent to the back of the court and then suddenly tipping it over the net could win you many points. Not only that but the badminton smash, the equivalent to a volleyball spike, needs a lot of power as you must hit the birdie in a way that it shoots down and then your opponent can't get it.

china

Of course china!!! but wait Indonesia has more convincing players when it comes to playing awesome badminton.

Its players could provide great entertainment due to their great talent and they're really genius.

Korea is also a good one..

Badminton is a popular sport, especially in Asian countries like China, India, and Japan. Mostly, people play it for liesure, but some play it as a professional sport. China's Lin Dan won gold in the 2008 Olympics.

The facilities of badminton are a place where the sport badminton is played. It's usually located inside a building or complex because the shuttlecock is affected by the wind which can disturb the play.

It's good!

when the player hits the shuttle touches the net and continues to the service area. If it is a service it is a fault, If it is during the rally if the oppenent does not attempt it is a point for the hitter.

if you accidently hit a high serve, the person on the side while either clear the bird to you all the way in the back court, drop the bird, or smash the bird. If they clear it to you, that is good, because you then can smash, or side drop the bird. If they drop it too you, that is good too, because you can lightly drop/clear(all the way in the alley) the bird to the left if you are on the right or the middle, lightly drop/clear(all the way to the alley) the bird to the right if you are on the left of middle. But if they smash the bird at you, the only thing you can do is try everything you can to chang your pasition from definding to attacking the bird.

Yes as long as you don't touch the net.

If a ball starts to roll down the net, get low and wait for it below the net. Then, pop it up in the direction of your teammates so they can put it over.

It's basically the same thiing as serving in badminton, when one who takes the first shot , is called the service .........

the minimum requirement is 30 feet / 10 metre, that is the maximum the shuttlecock can travel when you hit it straight up even by Lin Dan, of course it means that from a proper and suitable shuttlecocks flight or speed base on the country your in hot or cold and altitudes

The sizes of the jumps in all international/open horse trials are closely regulated: I don't know the measurements in metric, but in feet and inches, 3ft 11in is the maximum height, measured from the point at which an 'average' horse would take off. You then have to allow for the fact that all the fences are fixed, are usually made of massive timber, may (and often do) have large open ditches underneath, may be on a slope, round a corner, into or out of water, emerging from dim woodland into sunlight or vice versa, and you begin see that although the size is not huge, the fence may still be extremely testing.
