Scoring system and service:• A match is the best of three games. - Each game is played to 21 pointsWhen the serving side loses a rally, the s

erve immediately passes to their opponent(s)

In singles, the server stands in their right service court when their score is even, and in her/his left service court when her/his score is odd.

In doubles, if the serving side wins a rally, the same player continues to serve, but he/she changes service courts so that she/he serves to a different opponent each time. If the opponents win the rally and their new score is even, the player in the right service court serves; if odd, the player in the left service court serves

• When the server serves, the shuttlecock must pass over the short service line on the opponents' court or it will count as a fault.

• If the score reaches 20-all, then the game continues until one side gains a two point lead (such as 24–22), up to a maximum of 30 points (30–29 is a winning score).
