How to play –

Use your racket to hit the shuttlecock into your opponents side of the court to score points.

If the shuttlecock hits the net or lands out then a point is awarded to your opponent.

Players must serve diagonally across the net to their opponent. There are no second serves so if your first serve goes out then your opponent wins the point.

A serve must be hit underarm and below the servers waist. No overarm serves are allowed.

Once the shuttlecock is ‘live’ then a player may move around the court as they wish. They are permitted to hit the shuttlecock from out of the playing area.

If a player touches the net with any part of their body or racket then it is deemed a fault and their opponent receives the point.

Players will be drawn into 4 groups and then will play every player in their group once in a 1st to 3 sets format, with 4 points being required to win a set. Each match won will earn 1 point in the group table.
