Badminton is a sport for two or four ("singles" or "doubles") people. The
game is either one player against one player or a team of two players
against another team of two players. Players use
rackets to hit a shuttlecock over a net
but if it goes too far it will be an out. It is often enjoyed in various
settings, from casual backyard matches to intense professional
tournaments.
The aim of the game is to hit the shuttlecock over the net in a way that
the other player or pair cannot hit it back properly before it hits the
floor. Every time this is done, the player or pair gets one point. They
also get to serve. The first player or pair to reach 21 points wins a set.
