BADMINTON COURT RULES<\/strong>: This section provides a handy regulations list of court size, court lines, and boundary markings.<\/p>\n

Playing competitive games in wind and rain can be a problem. Doing so can interrupt the natural flight of the featherweight cork shuttle.<\/p>\n

That is why all competitive badminton matches take place on a regulated court. Players must use an indoor playing surface<\/strong> for all professional or elite tournaments.<\/p>\n

BWF badminton court rules also provide full governance for the minimum equipment needed<\/a> to play shuttle games.<\/p>\n

There must be a net and two upright posts<\/strong> fixed on the court to play a competitive match. The official height of a fixed badminton net is lower than in volleyball rules<\/a>. But the badminton net height is higher than nets in tennis regulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a closer look:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Check out these badminton court rules and regulations for net size and width. Take a look at the diagram below showing badminton court dimensions in metres. It will help you to set up a badminton playing surface for games in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Shuttle Badminton Net Height<\/h3>\n

\n
    \n
  1. A badminton net should always be in the center of the court.<\/li>\n
  2. The net divides the pitch into two equal halves each side.<\/li>\n
  3. Stretch the net tightly (not slack) between two posts fixed at the outside edge of the court.<\/li>\n
  4. Badminton net size should be five (5) feet high from the ground (approximately 1.52 metres) and hang vertical.<\/li>\n
  5. The height of the shuttlecock net should divide the two halves throughout the complete width of the court.<\/li>\n
  6. Painted or marked badminton court lines should be clear and visible.<\/li>\n
  7. All badminton court lines should be the same color (white as a rule).<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n

    Badminton Court Rules for Line Markings<\/h3>\n

    The badminton lines often confuse many beginners. Badminton court lines are also called side tramlines. Standard badminton court markings cater for singles and doubles matches.<\/p>\n

    Note<\/strong>: The BWF official badminton rules<\/a> do not govern a friendly outdoor fun game in a garden or at the beach. Badminton court size dimensions differ for paired players. The line marking measures out bigger and wider for doubles rules<\/a> games.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Badminton Court Size in Feet and Metres<\/h3>\n

    So, what is the badminton court size in square feet?<\/p>\n

    BWF court rules say it must measure 44 feet by 17 feet wide for a single’s game (that’s approximately 13.4 x 5.2 metres).<\/p>\n

    Whereas, a double’s game plays out on a court size of 44 feet by 20 feet wide (approximately 13.4 x 6.3 metres).<\/p>\n

    The playing surface should have two sets of side lines. The inner badminton court measurement will be used in single rules<\/a> competitions. Whereas, a game of doubles would get played using the outermost side lines.<\/p>\n

    Put another way:<\/p>\n

    Simply stated, the outer side lines are in play for doubles only<\/strong> and therefore out of play for singles games.<\/p>\n

    Three more visible badminton court lines are used in boundary control. They come into play when you are serving the shuttle<\/a> to your opponent. But, these lines only apply for serving the shuttle and are not related to individual rallies.<\/p>\n
