The team winning the toss of the coin shall have the option of serving first,
receiving the serve or choosing the court end. The side that serves first has only
one service to start the game. After the game begins each team gets two serves.
SERVICE ROTATION:
The team which serves first must serve from their right half court diagonally
opposite to their opponents right half court (see diagram).
lN DO BLES: The serve must alternate from the right half court to left half court
after each serve, so no player on the opposing team receives two consecutive
serves. Teammates must serve consecutively.

or an even number of points. Service is delivered from left half court on odd
number points. If the team serving makes a fault, one serve is lost. If the team

the serve. The serve must alternate from right and left half courts after each
serve as stated before.

wins the match. Teams shall change court ends after each game.

than the servers waist.
If in serving, the shuttle falls into wrong service court or falls short of the service
line or beyond the long service line or out side the side boundary lines.
If the server or person receiving the service does not serve from within their right
or left half court, whichever the case may be.
If the server or player intentionally distracts, balks or obstructs his opponent.
If the server in attempting to serve, misses the shuttle.
If during service or play the shuttle falls outside the boundaries of the court,
passes through or under the net or fails to pass over the net.
If a player reaches over the net and hits the shuttle on their opponents side
of the court. However a player may hit the shuttle on their side of the court
and follow through on the swing over the net.
If the shuttle is hit twice in succession by the same player or the shuttle is hit
by a player and his teammate successively.
NOTE. It is not a fault if the shuttle hits the net during service or play and goes
over the net. If this occurs during the serve it is just reserved.
