BADMINTON was 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, and 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.

A double elimination tournament means you have to lose twice before being eliminated from the competition. If you lose once, you are sent to the "losers' bracket". In the losers' bracket you are allowed to continue competing against other teams that have also lost once. If you lose a second time you are eliminated. The winner of the losers' bracket places third in the overall competition.

A forehand shot.

Flip a coin to see which team gets first centre pass or picks where they want to shoot. Once it is chosen what side each team will shoot on and who will have first centre pass, you have to hold one of your arms out and point it towards the centre circle and point your other arm directly straight at what side the team with the first centre pass to where they are shooting at. Then simply blow your whistle when the time comes!

There is no minimum educational requirement, however you must be able to read and understand the rules of the game in order to play.

The umpire keeps the badminton match going according to schedule. It is the umpire's job to manage the other officials such as line judges. The umpire usually reports to the referee although the referee is not always on the court and may be in charge of several matches at one time. The umpire is required to keep only authorized persons in the immediate surroundings of a match.

In Badminton, a point is scored by the server when an opposing player allows the shuttlecock to hit the playing surface.

Countries in east and south-east Asia are well-known for dominating the sport, especially the likes of China and Indonesia, who consistently win the Olympic Games for badminton, the Thomas and Uber Cups Tournament and the All England Championship. The sport may not be the most important game in China as the Chinese excel in many other sports as well. However, in countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, badminton can be regarded as the unofficial national sports since this is the only sport that the two countries really excel in at the international level and pin their Olympic medal hopes almost exclusively on this sport. Chinese, Indonesian, Malaysian and Danish badminton players (both male and female) regularly feature on the top ten list of the best badminton players in the world.
