-
Step 2
Bring your own shuttles to the court and make sure they are all in good condition before you begin playing.
-
Step 3
Cooperate with your opponent during the warm-up, so everyone has a chance to hit each type of shot before you begin an actual match.
-
Step 4
Call all faults on your side of the net fairly and objectively. Your opponent should do the same. Respect your opponent's calls.

When you hit an illegal shot such as slinging the shuttle, touching the net, or any other illegal action, make sure to call it right away.

Step 7
Avoid talking to or otherwise distracting your opponent while the shuttle is in play.

Maintain a calm temperment on the court at all times, no matter how frustrated you may be.
-
Step 10
Shake hands with your opponent at the end of the match.
