Shuttlecock Sport

Basic Explanation of Shuttlecock Sport Rules

R U L E 1 0 : SUBSTITUTIONS 


When the ball is out of play, the coach or the captain may ask the referee for a substitution. During the substitution people outside the court should not give any instructions or advice to the players in the court and the players on the court should not leave the court either. Only three substitutions are allowed for each team during one game. In doubles or singles no substitution is allowed. The substitute should be ready at the scoredesk before entering the court, and the substitution should be finished within 15 seconds; otherwise the team should be judged a time out.

If the team already had time out twice in the game, the team should be judged losing the right of service and one point credited to the opponent.

When the coach or the captain asks for a substitution, he/she should report to the referee the number of the player leaving the court and that of the substitute.

If a player is disqualified for any reason, he/she cannot continue to play and should be substituted. If the team has already had three substitutions in a game or there is no substitutes outside the court the team should be judged losing the game.
