The rules of Shuttleswap.

Thursday, February 21st, 2013

The basic game shall consist of two players sat side by side. Each player shall have a badminton racket and one shuttlecock between them.

The rackets are held out in front of the players with a flat surface facing upwards. One player has the shuttlecock on his racket with the rubbery bit that you hit facing upwards. That player attempts to flick the shuttlecock onto the racket of his opponent.

Should the shuttlecock bounce on the neighbouring racket but not stay on then a single point is earned. A shuttlecock that stays on the opponents racket earns five points.

The game is played for a predetermined time agreed between the players with the winner being the person with most points at the end of that time.

There are no other rules though these may appear as the game evolves and matures.
