Rules
Objective:
To win points by hitting a Birdie/Ball through the Jazzminton Window until
opponent cannot return it.
Determine Who Starts
Players rally, hitting the Birdie/Ball through the Jazzminton Window, the winner of the
rally gets the first serve.
Serving
Serving player is a minimum of 6 feet from the Jazzminton Net and
must underhand serve the Birdie/Ball. When serving, if the Birdie/Ball
touches the net and goes through the Window, it does not count and
you must redo the serve.
Receiving player may stand at any desired distance.
Serve Alternating
If the game is to 11, each player alternates 2 serves at a time.
If the game is to 21, each player alternates 5 serves at a time.
If the score is 10-10 (played to 11 points) or 20-20 (played to 21 points), both players
alternate one serve each until the game is won.
During Play
Using only your paddle you get one hit to return the Birdie/Ball through the window.
To equalize sun and wind effects, switch sides every 5 points, if desired.
Scoring
Jazzminton is played using rally scoring. Points can be won when serving or receiving.
The rally ends and a point is awarded when the opponent cannot return the Birdie/Ball
through the Jazzminton Window.
Games are typically played to 11 or 21.
Games must be won by two points.
