Tango’s Lab: Netless Badminton
?Sometimes my kid and I play badminton without a net. I don't know if such a game already exists, but I'll tell you our rules anyway. It's pretty straightforward.
You have two lines about 20 feet apart. Each player is trying to protect his "end zone", which is some 5-10 feet deep. You serve from behind your line (inside your end zone). Other than the serve, any player can stand anywhere on the field. Your objective is to get the birdie to land inside your opponent's end zone, either by a direct hit, or off your opponent, which include an "own goal" if your opponent can't clear his own end zone. Typically, you will try to "protect" your end zone by not doing a kill shot, but just blocking a good hit from your opponent. Serves rotate, except when a score is made, in which case the loser serves.
That's it, hope someone out there has fun with it!
