I need to mention that in doubles, the size of the court is slightly larger than a singles

court. The length of the court is the same, but the width of the court in doubles is a

little bit wider. The length is 44 feet long and the width for doubles is 20 feet long.

In doubles, as opposed to singles, you have two players on one side playing against two

players on the other side. And, of course, like singles the object of the game is to

hit the shuttlecock away from your opponents. In doubles especially, there's a lot more

emphasis on smashing and attacking the shuttlecock and hitting it at very fast rates of speed.

And requires typically a lot more energy than singles. Because in singles you have to conserve

your energy, so it's a much slower paced game, typically. And those are the basic rules for

doubles.
