Rules when reaching 14-14

Hi Framerate

If your opponent chases up to 14-14, you will have the choice to go for straight meaning the first to reach 15 points will win the game or a choice to duece to 17 points.

Deuce at 13 all does not apply anymore since the changed of rules quite sometime back.

Hope clarification helps

In the old days you could set at 13-13 and 14-14.
Setting only happened once in a game though. You didn't set at 13-13 and then again at 14-14 .

At 13-13 receiver could choose 3 or 5 more points
i.e. to set to 16 or 18

At 14-14 receiver could choose 1 or 3 more points
i.e. to set to 15 or 17

setting at 13-13 was in force in 1995


Anyone remember what the scoring for Women's singles was like at this time?

 

In WS the choice was
at 9-9 : 2 or 3 points (to 11 or 12)
at 10-10 : 1 or 2 points (to 11 or 12)

By the way Neil, the choice at 13-13 was not 3 or 5 but 2 or 5! (to 15 or 18 or course)
No game has ever been played in 16 points as far as I know...
The rule was change in order to make it simpler to understand, I can't remember the exact year though...

 

oops

This is what i was told when I first started playing. Not at a club, just with some people from work. And then it changed to the current rules not long after I started.

 

change of rule

As far as i remember, this change of rule occured in 1999 or 2000, when i came back to badminton...

 

Was it that long ago? Maybe I'm getting old.

Certain types of accidental hits used to be illegal--called carries, slings, throws, etc. Now I think the only thing not allowed is the double-hit.

 

If I'm not wrong, the set of 13-13 (although now cancelled) is 2 or 5 more points:
i.e. to set to 15 or 18
The first option is always the choice which does not extend the game.

 

setting

If my memory hasn't deserted me, it wasn't 2 or 5 as such at 13-13, you could choose between setting to 5 or play straight through but if you chose the latter then if the score reached 14-14 you could then still set to 3.

 

Yes you're right.

 

Double hits are allowed, provided that they take place as part of the same stroke. Carrying, throwing or slinging the shuttle is not allowed. The relevant law:

It is 'fault':

13.6 if, in play, the shuttle:

13.6.1 is caught and held on the racket and then slung during the execution of a stroke;
13.6.2 is hit twice in succession by the same player with two strokes;
13.6.3 is hit by a player and the player's partner successively; or
13.6.4 touches a player's racket and continues towards the back of that player's court;
​

The wording is quite specifically designed to allow double hits, such as frequently take place with sliced shots.
