What is the Game of Badminton?
Like the game of tennis, the game of badminton is a racquet sport played by players who stand on opposite sides of a net strung across a rectangular court. Another similarity is the number of players: two competitors in singles, and four in doubles. In both sports, singles play on a narrower court than doubles, and doubles may share the court side by side or front and back. Most other aspects of the sport are different.
