Keywords

💡Scoring System

The scoring system in badminton singles is a critical aspect of the game's structure. It is defined as a match consisting of the best of three games, with each game played to 21 points. A player must win by two points, and if the score reaches 20-all, the game continues until one player has a two-point lead. This system is used to determine the winner of each game and ultimately the match. In the script, the scoring system is introduced as the foundation for understanding how matches are won and lost.

💡Service Court

The service court refers to the specific area from which a player serves the shuttlecock. In badminton singles, there are two service courts, the right and left, which are indicated by the player's score. The server must serve from the right service court when their score is even and from the left service court when their score is odd. This alternation is crucial for maintaining fairness and strategy in the game. The script explains this by highlighting the white squares and the necessity to serve diagonally to the opponent.

💡Rally

A rally in badminton is a continuous exchange of hits between players until one fails to return the shuttlecock properly. The player who wins the rally scores a point. The concept of a rally is central to the gameplay, as it involves skill, strategy, and physical endurance. The script uses the term 'rally' to describe the back-and-forth play that leads to a player scoring a point, such as when Dan wins a rally and scores a point.

💡Out of Bounds

In badminton, a shuttlecock is considered 'out of bounds' if it lands beyond the sidelines or the baseline. This results in a loss of point for the player who hit the shuttlecock. The script emphasizes the importance of this rule by mentioning that the shuttlecock must land within the court boundaries after the first hit, using the red and orange arrows in the video to illustrate these areas.

💡Service Line

The service line, also known as the short service line, is a boundary that the shuttlecock must cross on the first hit of a serve. If the shuttlecock does not clear this line, the serve is considered invalid, and the server loses the point. The script describes this rule and uses the blue arrows to indicate the service line in the video, which is crucial for understanding the serve's legality.

💡Baseline

The baseline in badminton is the farthest back line of the court, and the shuttlecock must not land beyond this line after the first hit. The script mentions the baseline, indicated by black arrows, as part of the court boundaries that players must be aware of to avoid losing points due to out-of-bounds hits.

💡Diagonal Service

Diagonal service in badminton singles refers to the requirement that the server must serve the shuttlecock diagonally across the net to the opponent's service court. This rule ensures that the serve is directed towards the correct service area and adds an element of strategy to the game. The script explains that serving directly opposite to the receiver is not allowed and results in a point loss for the server.

💡Alternate Service Court

After winning a rally, the player must serve from the alternate service court, which is the opposite of the one used for the previous serve. This rule alternates the service court after each point, ensuring that the server and receiver switch sides regularly. The script illustrates this by showing Dan switching from the right to the left service court after winning a point.

💡Mock Tournament

A mock tournament is a simulated competition used for demonstration purposes. In the script, a mock tournament between a red team and a blue team is described to illustrate the rules and gameplay of badminton singles. This scenario helps viewers understand the practical application of the rules in a match setting, with named players Dan and Li participating.

💡Short Service Line

The short service line is a boundary that defines the area where the shuttlecock must land on the first hit of a serve. The script explains that the shuttlecock must go beyond this line on the first hit, and after the first hit, it can land in the previously shaded region for the rest of the rally. This rule is crucial for the serve's legality and is demonstrated in the animation.

the other hand we have to change the

service code also so that he can return

the serve from done let's assume done

wins this rally so it's 2 for Dan and

Lee is still 0 now Dan will continue to

serve but he will switch to the right

service code because the his score is 2

served as we can see from the animation

Lee wins a point from this deserve how

come remember in singles if the

sideline as I mentioned earlier it is

considered out of bound

and this will cost the player who hits

the shuttlecock I love bow one point so

now is least turn to serve because he

just one point and he needs to serve

from the left service call because his

score is 1 which is an odd number and

then we'll move to the left service

court as well so that he can return the

serve from Lee Lee served instead of

serving diagonally

he served to the opponent's side

directly opposite

him remember when you serve you should

serve to the receiver who stand in the

diagonal service cone you will lose a

point if you serve to the site directly

opposite from you the score now is 3/4

done and one fully the right to serve

goes back to Dan because he just won a

point since the score is 3 then we will

serve from their left service code and

Lee will move to the left service coach
