Badminton History

Badminton has a surprisingly long history given its relatively recent introduction onto the Olympic scene. Badminton was invented long ago; its origins date back at least two thousand years to the game of battledore and shuttlecock played in ancient Greece, India and China. Badminton took its name from Badminton House in Gloucestershire, the home of the Duke of Beaufort, where the sport was played in the last century. By coincidence, Gloucestershire is now the base for the International Badminton Federation.

Founded in 1934 with nine members - Canada, Denmark, England, France, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales, membership of the International Badminton Federation has risen steadily. There was a notable increase in new members after badmintons Olympic debut at Barcelona. Development in the sport continues to grow and the current 142 members is expected to increase further.

The first major IBF tournament was the Thomas Cup (world mens team championships) in 1948. Since then, the number of world events has increased with the addition of the Uber Cup (ladies team), World Championships, Sudirman Cup (mixed team), World Juniors and the World Grand Prix Finals. 1996 saw the last of a highly successful invitational event, the World Cup. Started in 1981 the World Cup was established to provide top players with an opportunity to earn greater levels of prize money. As the World Grand Prix circuit has grown and prize money has increased it was felt that the World Cup had served its purpose.

New competitions are planned including one-off spectaculars and the development of a SuperSeries. It is anticipated that these will attract greater sponsorship, prize money and television. In these days of mass communications, the importance of television to a world sport is self-evident. Television brings the action, the excitement, the explosive power of badminton into homes around the world. It pulls in the crowd to see the action live; it pulls in major sponsors.

COURT: The singles court is the narrow inside lines. The doubles court is the wider outside lines. The back line is the wide outside line and is the same in singles and doubles game.

SERVICE: For both singles and doubles play the side serving is considered the "in" side and the side receiving is considered the "out" side.

The players shall serve and receive from the left hand courts when the servers score is an uneven number of points. Both players change service courts after each point is scored.

At the beginning of a game or beginning of an inning, the service is always taken first from the right hand service court as in singles.
