Badminton is a racquet sport similar to Tennis that can played individually or with doubles and is most popular in Sri Lanka, India, China, Canada and the UK. The game involves hitting the shuttlecock (a feather projectile) with your racket from one opponent to the other with the objective of keeping the shuttlecock airborne and not letting it hit the ground when it comes to your side of the net. Players can only use one swing to hit the shuttlecock over the net to their opponents side and the object of the game is to reach 21 points first, with each winning rally counting as 1 point. Each round is played in a best of three series and the first player that successfully wins two sets of 21 points/game is declared the winner of the overall game.
