The main difference between tennis and badminton is that in tennis one bounce is allowed whereas in badminton it is prohibited. There are typically five events: women's singles, men's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles (each pair is composed of one man and one woman). By looking at the shuttle and its weight most of the people gets the feeling that it cannot travel with a great velocity, but this is a misconception. A shuttle can travel with a velocity greater than 300 km/hr.
