WHAT IS BADMINTON?

Badminton is a racket sport where games can either be a singles match (in which one person plays another) or a doubles match where pairs play each other.

The match is played on a court over a high net with a shuttlecock.

The goal is to be the first to reach 21 points, you then play best of three games to determine the winner.
