SCORING
Matches comprise a best of three games of 21 points. If a game is level at 20-20, the first player to open a two-point advantage wins. If the score reaches 29-29, the winner of the next point takes the game.
SERVICE
As in tennis, the serve is played diagonally across the court and alternates from side to side; if the server’s score is even, service is from the right, if odd, it’s from the left.
EQUIPMENT
Shuttlecock: also just called a shuttle, it weighs between 4.74 and 5.5 grams and can be made from natural or synthetic material, the premium versions using cork and 16 goose feathers.
Racket: At 67cm it is longer than a tennis racket and with a smaller head, designed to combine a lightweight feel (weighing just 85g-100g) and fast response.
De sport wordt (kennelijk) gedomineerd door spleetoogmensen, maar dat maakt het kijken natuurlijk niet minder leuk
Leuk feitje:
The Games will make use of about 8,400 shuttlecocks
Ja, leuk.quote:Op zaterdag 20 augustus 2016 15:49 schreef zorro28 het volgende:
