What is a "badminton court"?
A badminton court is a rectangular area where the game of badminton is played. It is divided into two halves by a net that stretches across the center. The court is marked with lines to define the boundaries for singles and doubles play. In singles, the court is narrower, while in doubles, it is wider. The floor is usually made of wood or synthetic material, designed for quick movements and easy shuttlecock control. Players aim to score points by hitting the shuttlecock over the net and into the opponent's side of the court, following specific rules about the serve and boundaries.
Examples
