Deciding who gets to serve first:In more casual games, you usually just throw the shuttle up in the air or let it land from the net, and see which side it points towards: that side serves first.
Which side to serve from?When the server’s score is an even number, he serves from the right service court. When his score is an odd number, he serves from the left service court.
Always say the server’s score first.When you’re saying the score, always say the server’s score first. So if you are serving and have 10 points to your opponent’s 15 points, then the score is 10–15 (not 15–10).
