A rectangular court with a net in the middle is used for the racket sport of badminton, which is played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles). A shuttlecock must cross the net and land in the half of the court occupied by their opponent in order for a player to earn a point. The shuttlecock can only be hit once by either side until it crosses the net, and a rally is over after it has landed.
The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a projectile with feathers that flies differently from balls used in other racket sports due to its special aerodynamic features. In particular, the feathers create significantly more drag, which causes the shuttlecock to decelerate more.
The shuttlecock flies differently from the balls used in many other sports because it is a feathered or (in casual contests) plastic projectile. The feathers in particular increase.

The feathers in particular increase drag significantly, hastening the shuttlecock's deceleration. Comparing shuttlecocks to other racquet sports' balls, they have a faster top speed. The shuttlecock's flight is what gives the sport its distinctive character. The shuttlecock may only be hit once by each side before it crosses the net. The game is over when the shuttlecock touches the ground or the floor, or if a fault is declared by the service judge, umpire, or (in their absence) the opposing side.
