1. The side lines of the service and receive areas are marked with ‘service marks’ 3 meters away from their respective restricted lines. The area between the lines connecting the two service marks and up to the respective end lines is the service area. The area between the restricted lines, end lines, and the corresponding side lines is the receive area.
2. The server and receiver must stand in their respective areas without touching the boundary lines of the service and receive areas. From the start to the end of the serve, both the server and receiver must have part of their feet in contact with the ground and must not move.
3. At the moment the server’s racket hits the ball, the entire ball should be below the height of the net, and the trajectory of the ball should be upward.
4. Except for the parts that explicitly use new rules, the rest of the service rules follow traditional badminton rules.
5. Diagram: Schematic diagram of singles service area, receive area, and competition area. Schematic diagram of doubles and triple play service area, receive area, and competition area.
6. Regarding the triple play project, as it is a newly added item, it has different characteristics from traditional badminton projects, mainly as follows: (1) Service order The service right in each game must be passed in the following order: first by the server; then by any player on the receiving side; followed by one of the server’s partners; then by the other player on the first receiving side; followed by the server’s second partner; and finally by the third player on the first receiving side; and so on. (2) Racket order There is no fixed order for receiving the ball, and any player on the receiving side can receive the ball. After each serve is returned, no player on either side can hit the ball twice in a row; consecutive hits will be judged as a violation.
