Keeping score in Badminton

Does anyone know how to keep score in badminton in japanese, so many ways of counting things!

I asked my Japanese badminton buddy and she had no idea as she only learned the game in this country :slight_smile:

Tried Prof Google but could only get instructions on keeping score in English (which I do know how to do)

Perhaps someone in this community knows?

thanks

Are you asking which counter is used? Typically 点 (てん)
The actual scoring rules seem the same.

Should indeed be 点.

Checked the rules section of the Wikipedia entry and it says, for example:

試合は、シングルス、ダブルスともに、2ゲーム先取の3ゲームマッチ。それぞれラリーポイントの21点先取した側が1ゲームを得る。ただし20-20になった場合延長となり、以降どちらかが2点差をつけるか、30点に達するまで行われる。即ち、29-29となった場合は次に得点した側がそのゲームを得ることになる。

Rough translation

In both singles and doubles matches, it’s first to two out of three games. The first side to get 21 rally points wins a game. However, in the case of 20-20 there will be an extension playing until a 2 point difference or 30 points are reached. i.e. in the case of 29-29 the side who takes the next point wins the game.
