Players are randomly assigned to a tournament bracket or round-robin and play until they are eliminated or win the bracket or pool. Players must play in at least two Challenge Tournaments to be eligible to advance to the Regimental Tournament. Players will be ranked by their win-loss record. Ties are broken by points scored (most) and then points scored against (least).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rules\">Rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A match is one game played to 15 or 11 points, depending on the number of players or teams waiting to play. A 2-point margin is not required. Only the serving side can score points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The server and receiver stand within diagonally opposite service courts without touching the boundary lines of these service courts. When the server has scored an even number of points, players serve from and receive in their respective right service courts. Likewise, players serve from and receive in their respective left service courts when the server has scored an odd number of points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The server\u2019s feet must stay on the floor until the shuttle is served. The shuttle must be held below the waist on the serve; the head of the server\u2019s racquet must be pointed downward during the serve. \u201cHit the serve underhanded.\u201d It is a fault when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The server misses the shuttle on serve, i.e., \u201cwhiffs.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The shuttle doesn\u2019t go over the net.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The shuttle lands outside the court.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The shuttle touches the ceiling or walls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A player touches the net.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A player steps under the net.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The International Badminton Federation governs all other rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intramural Game Rules Competition Badminton is a Tier 3 event; all students may participate.
