Badminton 21 Points
The
Badminton 21 points scoring system started
in the Thomas / Uber Cup 2006. I personally think
that it has added extra spice and excitement to
the game. What do you think?
Anyway,
IBF have already decided to adopt this system
permanently. So you might as well just follow
the trend...
For
those of you who want to try this New Badminton
21 Points Scoring System can follow these
rules taken from IBF Press Release.
For
Singles matches, the rules are:
- A
match consists of best of 3 games.
- The
side that first scored 21 points shall win.
- The
side winning a rally shall add 1 point to its
score.
- If
a score becomes 20-20, the side which scores
2 consecutive points shall win that game.
- If
the score becomes 29-29, the side that scores
the 30th point shall win that game.
- The
side winning a game serves first in the next
game.
- When
one side reaches 11 points, both players get
a 60 second break.
- Both
sides get a 2-minute break between first and
second games, and another 2-minute break between
second and third game.
- Other
rules shall remain the same.
For
Doubles matches, the rules are:
- One
service only
- Back
service line remains and the current rule applies.
The
chart below explains the 3x21 rally point scoring
system for doubles matches.
In
a Doubles match between A&B against C&D.
A&B win the toss and decide to serve. A will
serve to C. A shall be the initial server while
C shall be the initial receiver.

OLD
SIMPLIFIED LAWS OF BADMINTON |
|
|
|
|
Toss
The
winner of the toss can elect to serve or receive
in the first game, or to choose to play at a particular
end of the court. The loser of the toss makes
the remaining choice.
Basic Aim
You
win a rally if you hit the shuttle over the net
and onto the floor of the opposing side's court.
You
lose the rally if you hit the shuttle into the
net, or over the net but outside of the opposing
side's court. You also lose the rally if, for
example, the shuttle touches you or your clothing,
or if you hit it before it crosses the net.

Serving
The service courts are slightly different for
singles and doubles. A shuttle on the line is
"in". The server and receiver stand
in the diagonally opposite service courts (always
right hand at the start of the game) but therefore
players may move anywhere on their side of the
net. The server must obey laws designed to force
underhand delivery of the serve, and the receiver
must stand still until the service is struck.
Scoring
Matches comprise of the best of three games. Each
game starts at 0-0 (traditionally called "love-all")
If the serving side wins a rally, it scores a
point, and serves again but from the alternate
service court. If the receiving side wins the
rally, the score remains unchanged and the service
passes to the next player in turn. In singles,
this is the opponent: in double it's either the
partner or, if both players have just had a turn
of serving , one of the opponents.
15
points wins a game. However, if the score reaches
14-14, the side which first reached 14 can choose
either to play to 15, or to set the game to 17
points. The final score will reflect the sum of
the points won before setting plus the points
gained in setting. Scoring in ladies' singles
is slightly different. 11 points wins a game and
there is the option to set to13 points" at
10-10.
And
Finally...
Players change ends at the end of a game and when
the leading score reaches 8 (or 6 for ladies'
singles) in the third game. A five minute interval
is allowed prior to any third game. |
