(a) Change of ends in Badminton (Singles and Doubles): Players change ends: 1. At the conclusion of the first game. 2. At the conclusion of the second game (if a third, deciding game is required). 3. In the third (deciding) game, when the leading player or pair first reaches 11 points in a 21-point game. If players forget to change ends at the 11-point mark, the change takes place as soon as the mistake is noticed, with the existing score remaining intact. (b) The Umpire will call a 'Service Court Error' (or a fault against the receiving side). Under BWF laws, if the wrong receiver returns the serve and the rally is won by the receiver, a 'Let' is called if discovered before the next serve; if the receiving side committed the fault before the rally, a point is awarded to the server. (c) The Umpire will call a 'Let'. If the shuttlecock disintegrates or its base separates from the feathers during a rally, the rally is voided and replayed immediately with a new shuttlecock.
