Shuttle stuck at net on the other side of net.

**scann** · 01-05-2008, 12:07 AM

Recently played a friendly at Kajang, Malaysia. My team mates were playing 2nd double.

The following snapshots are from the video clip.

I think the 'amateur' umpire had made a right decision. It is a let.

Enjoy.

We are guests, so no comment on courts.

But one particular old fashion rule is that all players must wear 'White' T-shirt when playing at this hall.

Don't worry, there is a small mobile sport shop selling 'White' T-shirt in case you didn't bring.

yup the right choice was made to play a let, cause the opposing team did not have the chance to strike ths shuttle but the shuttle got stuck on their side of the net from a shot their opponents played so yeah right choice. Havnt seen that happening lots though only a handful of times if even.

Hi scann,

Based on how you have phrased the title of this thread, "stuck at net on the other side of net", it is assumed that you know the correct answer.

The umpire did follow the Laws of Badminton;
14.2.3.2 : It shall be a let, if the shuttle is after passing over the net is caught in the net.

Even though it is written in the book of Laws, I have never seen it happened before, even though I have heard of it before.

So, thank you for sharing the video.

Cheers... chris@ccc

I managed to do this twice yet... Always when doing a spinning net shot...

**treilanin** · 01-05-2008, 05:48 PM

It has happened to me once on a clear at the net. Hit the top the net spun over and the net caught on the rebound. Definitely a let for sure.

***kwun*** · 01-05-2008, 09:58 PM

it happened to be before. but even more rarely, mine was stuck standing inverted on top of the net.

here was my write up from a few years ago:

sounds collusive

**Loh** · 01-07-2008, 01:06 AM

Depending on when the shuttle is left hanging on the other side of the net because if it is a result of SERVICE ...

Law 13 FAULTS

It shall be a 'fault':

13.2 if, in service, the shuttle:

13.2.1 is caught on the net and remains suspended on its top;
13.2.2 after passing over the net, is caught in the net;

Also a fault to the server if 'in play', the shuttle:

13.3.2 passes through (must be a big hole) or under the net.

Thanks for the word. I looked up Dictionary from Winword. This is want I found..

"secretly cooperating or involving secret cooperation in order to do something illegal or underhanded."

Yes it sounds collusive. I was told that the property owner related to the shop owner. So they have every right to be collusive.

If you have a chance to play in Kajang. Remember to bring extra white T-shirts to avoid confrontation and disappointment. Who knows you might play at this hall one day.

Hmmm...

I was told by an umpire and a few other ppl that its the 'hitter's' point if this happens. Even if the shuttle dropped it would be near impossible to return it.

**CWB001** · 01-17-2008, 04:48 AM

Well, you should be cautious about what you trust from that "umpire" then. The laws are very clear on the matter, as you can see from post 12 above. An umpire who can't understand the laws is as much use as a chocolate teapot.

**extremenanopowe** · 01-17-2008, 07:43 AM

Must be a glue somewhere along the tape... hehe...

Correct to be let. However, how long do you wait till before making a call? What happens if the shuttle decides to drop? ha.....how?

Wah, your fren hantam head (hunter) one is it? Nice game and court. Wimbledon style is it?

Hahaha extremenanopower, You are not thinking/visualising it clear enough.

Even if the shuttlecock decides to drop from the net, it would drop just under the net. You would need a strong wind to blow the falling shuttle past the receiver's Service Line.
