    If during the serve, the shuttle hits the net but lands in the correct service court, is this considered a "let" and thus must be done again? This is true in tennis but I'm not sure about badminton. Thanks.

    if the birdie gets over the net, doesn't matter if it touches or not, it is in play. so if it goes out, it's out; if it goes in, it's in, regardless of touching the net. if it doesn't make over the net, server loses the point.

    lol, guess you are mixing table tennis with badminton, only in table tennis when the server's serve hits the net and go over, a let is called. but in badminton, there is no let in serve when your server hits the net and go over
