#4: The point is awarded to the defender (i.e. the other side) because the racket of the attacker is not allowed over the net into the opponent's space. Doesn't matter if his partner swatted it over again after it, the point is already awarded. to venkatesh: He meant the racket swing and miss but carried over the net but the racket is still in his hand, it's just the head over the net to the opposite side. Next!!!
#4: I think the point is awarded to the attacker because it's legal to follow through over the net - it's just not legal to strike the shuttle before it crosses the net (although does it count as a follow-through if you missed the shuttle? - not sure). Anyway, I think RocKai is wrong and the attacker wins...
First: A player may let his racquet cross over the net in his or her follow-through on a shot. Second: It's a fault if a player touches the net or its supports with racket, person or dress, invades an opponent's court over the net with racket or person except as permitted. Hmm therefore I think it didn't count as a follow through because he didn't hit the bird.
I thought so too, but I looked it up: rule 13.4.2 says it's a fault if Since the player in this case didn't make contact with the shuttle, it looks like this rule applies and it's a fault. Surprising, but there it is.
Once again, answer from the book #4 the attacker is fault The racket can get over the net if it is the follow trough after hitting the birdie. But, the player in the front did not hit the birdie, so it is fault.
