Official Rules

This is the one I was talking about:

15. SHUTTLE NOT IN PLAY

A shuttle is not in play when:

15.2 it strikes the net or post and starts to fall towards the surface of the court on the striker’s side of the net;

that makes sense then, from what you wrote earlier it confused me cause it didnt state that your opponent struck the shuttle last sounded like it was the other player that sruck it. Just a confusion with what you wrote earlier.

Yea I just re-read my earlier post, that was a bit of a confusing one hehe

I have a question about "lets" again, haha xD
When should you call let? Would you still be able to call it after... A few seconds to your advantage?

as soon as there something wrong you to call a let
for example, if you werent ready but they served it to you and the service was either short or long, you should be honest enough to call it a let. tho sometimes i like to take that advantage. if another shuttle lands inside your court immediately a let should be. even if your shot was a winning point. because it might have distracted the players.

Another question xD
If a shuttle, string, or racket breaks then it's a re-serve right?

Not if your racquet or its string breaks

[Elixau]

I see, thanks

of anybodys string or racquet break then its not a reserve, the shuttle on the other hand for it to be a let or reserve then the cork has to seperate from the skirt in otherwords when using nylon the cork has to come off when using feathers the cork would have to seperate from the feathers.

[Elixau]

I have another two questions about the rule.
When serving, do you have to stand behind the service line?
And... If the server completely misses the serve, what happens? Does the server get a reserve? Or does the opponent get the point?

[CWB001]

Why don't you take a few minutes to read the laws of badminton if you play it regularly? An attempt to hit the shuttle by the server constitutes a fault if he misses, and you do have to stand behind the short service line.

I have a question too. On the pdf it says:

"The waist shall be considered to be an imaginary line round the body,
level with the lowest part of the server’s bottom rib;"

Is that the last bone of your ribcage? I thought the waist was like, to where your torso becomes legs.

yes it is the last bone of the ribcage, the lowest rib that is present. if you have a high waist then your in luck for serving if not well you can work around it. but yes the waist is located at your lowest most rib.

Wow. Thats bullcrap. Then our whole league has no freakin idea where the waist is then. This one girl kept telling me I needed to go under the waist, and I was down to my legs almost. ARGH!

if im not mistaken this was recently amended into it so not to long ago. but yeah alot of players still try to call me on it and have to tell them about the rules and show them where my waist is since i have a high waist so works to my advantage.

but yeah like watch some of the international matches look at how "high" they are serving it, heres 2 examples:
