Badminton

Badminton is a racquet sport played by

either two opposing players (singles) or two

opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions

on opposite halves of a rectangular court

that is divided by a net. Players score points

by striking a shuttlecock with their

racquet so that it passes over the net and

lands in their opponents' half of the court
