Kia Ora everyone, today we have a task to do for P.E. For the past few days, we have been playing badminton and since at this point we are supposed to do another sport but because of lockdown, it got extended. We will be playing badminton for weeks, and learn new skills. I was really excited and happy about it since badminton is one of my favorite hobbies to do every day in my life. In this blog, we will be talking about and are to every one of you how to score a game of badminton. Badminton is very easy to understand since all you have to do is to receive the shuttlecock and it has to be in and not to be out in the outside line.
When you are playing badminton, scoring is sometimes can be a little bit tricky since there is a specific out line when you are playing doubles or singles. Also, one main thing is when your team is the first one serving, it always starts on the right side. It goes like this odd numbers, you have to serve on the left side then if it's even then you have to be on the right side. You are not allowed to serve straight, but diagonal. Also, one rule that some players get confused too, is when you serve and the shuttlecock touches the line, then the point will still belong to the player who played that shot. Just then when the shuttlecock falls, and the of it touches the ground first, and it touches the line then it will be considered inside. When you are umpiring, you need to remember that a point is scored on every serve and awarded to whichever wins the rally. There are usually 3 games played, so might win 3-0,2-1 or even 2-0. It depends on the player's scores, also the winning side will still be the first to serve on the next round. If the is 20-20, a side must win by two clear points to win the match. Then also you needed to remember when it reaches 29-29, the first to get 30th point win the game.
That's the easier way to remember of how to score in a badminton game.
