(Measurements) Singles court measurement

In singles the long service line is the very back line of the court, parallel to the net. In doubles this is the line 76cm (2' 6") nearer the net. The area between these two lines in called the back tramlines.The line perpendicular to the net that bisects the court is called the centre line, and the outer edges of the side tramlines are called the sidelines

(BADMINTON LINES)
Each line is part of the court, so that if the base of the shuttle touches any part of a line, it is considered as being 'in', ie having landed within the area of the court. They are 4cm (1.5") wide.
