    Haha xP
    One question, I was a little too lazy to browse through the rules.
    Is holding both hands onto the racket and hitting the birdie an illegal move?

    you are allowed to use two hands to hit a shot, you can also hit a shot off your grip and if it goes over its still legal and all. but why would you want to hit a shot with 2 hands in an actual game?

    I don't know why you would want to hit a shot with 2 hands, but... Yeah xP
    It was just a random thought that came into my mind xD
    I have another question which I don't get...
    So you switch ends after the first and second game.
    The third game... You switch when... You score 11 points. Like... 11:0? Or 11:anything?

    its not uncommon to forget to switch usually its that if you forget at 11 in the 3rd to switch you dont really tend to switch then since it would be a distrubiance to the game and and all that, you usually just continue to play and finish the game on the sides you were on.

    I see.
    ANOTHER QUESTION! Haha xD
    It's a backhand serving question. Does the racket have to be below your waist? Or could it be anywhere?

    Another question, haha xD
    Touching the net = Lost already right?
    So if you touch the net by accident, your opponent gets a point?

    if you touch the net before the shuttle touches the ground then you lose the point automatically, but if you touch the net after the shuttle touches the ground then you get the point provided you didnt touch it before the shuttle struck the ground.
