The two fundamental laws of badminton

Old joke:
Q. How do you make $1m from playing Badminton?
A. Start with $2m

My two fundamental rules are always:

1. Feathers, not plastics
2. Always be sure to wear matching socks

1.dont drink and play
2. If you do drink and play, at least dont smash your partner while playing double

 

There should be a separate badminton-drinking game. During player introductions, each player will be handed a peg/pint of beer. At 0-0, they should take a sip again. Every service fault or smash winner, 2 sips need to be downed. Hit outside the court - 1 more sip. Techniacl break or time out to wipe off sweat or mop the court - 1 sip. After each game, 20 seconds of continuous sipping. Should make for pretty fun antics and shots

 

If only there were a game with Lin Dan playing Lin Dan.. we'd all be plastered by 4-4.

 

1. Love All
2. Play

 

...perhaps a bit like this one for Darts?

I get the first one. But what's the harm in wearing different socks? If you're lucky, your opponent will be distracted by your socks (and your neon orange YONEX shirt and court color trousers), netting you a psychological advantage.

(Personally, I only have black socks now. One less thing to think about when packing for umpiring. If I ever play you, I will be sure to bring my only blue sock as well.)

 

...well if you do I might just retaliate Lin Dan-style...
