What country does badminton come from?
Badminton was invented in the 1860s by the daughters of the Duke of Beaufort, based loosely on an ancient game called "battledore and shuttlecock" and using the same equipment.
It was named after their dad's summer mansion, Badminton House in Gloucestershire, England, where they first played it.
The dimensions of the modem official badminton court, 44 feet long and 17 feet wide, reportedly match those of the room where the young women developed the game.

How do officials in badminton communicate with other officials and players?
They use a series of hand signals. Here are a few examples:
COMMUNICATION WITH PLAYERS:
Raising right hand straight above his head - If the misconduct of the player is enough to apply the rule 16.8. The umpire would perform this hand signal and call the name of the player, warning for misconduct.
These are some of the hand signals followed by the service judges:
Raise the right arm in front - The service judge would raise his right arm slightly, flex the elbow and keep the palm vertically facing the opposite direction. The service judge performs this signals to indicate that the shaft of the racket when hitting the shuttle was not below the level of the wrist. This signal can also be applied to reveal that while serving the racket and/or the shaft of the racket was not facing downwards when hitting.
Lift the palm horizontally facing downwards - The signal is made below the level of abdomen followed by moving the palm left and right. This signal conveys that the shuttle, was not hit under the level of the waist during serving.
Extend the right leg and pointing the hand towards the foot - This hand signal indicates that either one or both feet were not in the service court till the serve was completed.
Im not too sure with how officials communicate with other officials, but i believe they use similar hand signals as they do with players.
Hope this helped :)
What do tennis and badminton have in common?
in both cases we are using hands and they both have a net and a ball and is played by humans
I think that he believed that every child deserves a chance to smile and that no matter how old you are, you will always have an inner child to help you through.
Walt Disney was a religious man but never went to church. Although he sent his children to Sunday School, he never forced them to choose between being a Catholic or Protestant. Disney believed that religion and entertainment should be kept separate, and never made a religious film.
Walt's father was a strong supporter of Socialist politics, but bad experiences with labor unions in 1941 drove him toward more conservative beliefs. He was proudly patriotic and made several pro-Ally, anti-Nazi cartoons during World War 2.
In the last two days I have watched 3 Disney movies that I got for my grandson. As I said in my previous post, I am glad he was not here to watch them with me and I had the chance to see them first. I watched Nightjohn which was a waste of money making other than to "remind" Blacks of where they once were (including Ruby Bridges). I am sure without good intentions.
I just watched the Princess and the Frog. What was racist about this movie? The movie starts with the little rich White girl, with the name Charlotte and the deep southern accent, living in a mansion. The little dark-skinned Black girl is the daughter of their seamstress. They show her mother and her leaving the rich white neighborhood to board the train to go to the poor side of town.
Skip, skip.... There are things in this movie no child should watch: evil, death, voodoo and of course the villain is Black. Skip, skip... she finds her Prince frog and after they are married and she becomes a Princess he is transformed to a Prince (with straight hair, not an Afro). So why does the movie not end there? It goes on to show "a Black Prince" buying a rundown building and transforming it, not into a palace, but into a NIGHTCLUB palace.
Disney, I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt with this movie, but once again, all I see is racism.
What is the history of badminton?
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.
Since 1992, 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 movements.

What is the normal length of a badminton match?
Simply, there is no time limit to how long an Olympic badminton game will last. The Olympic committee only counts how much time is used for the game. Therefore, a minimum of 21 points with the player leading by at least two points would win a match with 3 matches; 2 matches wins. However if a badminton is being delayed to the last game match, 15 points is needed only, and whoever reach 15 points wins the match and the game. I would say in a typical amature match it's about 15-20 min...
