Doubles Badminton Serving and Scoring

●The serving side earns a point if it prevails in a rally, and the same server then serves from the

alternative service court.

●A point is awarded to the receiving side after a winning rally—the serving side changes to the

receiving side.

●Until their side wins a point when their side is serving, the players do not switch to their respective

service courts.
