Badminton
Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players
(singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), on a rectangular court that
is divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with
their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their
opponents' half of the court. Each side may only
strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the
net.

1956–1957. The competitions take place once every two
years. More than 50 national teams compete in
qualifying tournaments within continental
confederations for a place in the finals. The final
tournament involves 12 teams, following an increase
from eight teams in 2004.
The Sudirman Cup, a gender-mixed international
team event held once every two years, began in 1989.

sport's most coveted prizes for individual players.

ranking points and enable them to play in the BWF
Super Series open tournaments. These include the
regional competitions in Asia (Badminton Asia
