Badminton !

Introduction for Badminton .

Badminton is a racquet sport played by two opposing players .
Either in singles or doubles .
A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the ground, and each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net.
The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently from the balls used in most racquet sports .
Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when compared to other racquet sports. Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind .The badminton court size is divided into two equal half’s, called The Net Line. The Net Lines dimension fills up the entire width of the court, creating an equal space of 22 feet long and 20 feet wide on each side of the line.

Measurement

Measurement is important in badminton . Without accurate measurement the court may not be the length and breath it should be causing unfairness to some players.
We also need to measure where the shuttlecock lands on in order to declare the winner .
If the shuttlecock lands within the single line for single and doubles line for doubles it is consider a 'in'. And in order to prevent parallax error, we have line judge to determine if the shuttlecock is 'in' or 'out'.
Without this measurements , the game played will not be fair .
