Rules Court Dimensions
A match consists of the best of three games of 21 points. The player/pair winning a rally adds a point to its score. At 20-all, the player/pair which first gains a 2-point lead wins that game. At 29-all, the side scoring the 30th point wins that game. The player/pair winning a game serves first in the next game. A badminton match can be played by two opposing players (singles) or four opposing players (doubles). A competitive match must be played indoors utilising the official court dimensions. A point is scored when the shuttlecock lands inside the opponent's court or if a returned shuttlecock hits the net or lands outside of the court the player will lose the point. At the start of the rally, the server and receiver stand in diagonally opposite service courts. A legal serve must be hit diagonally over the net and across the court.

Rules Court Dimensions
A basketball team can have a maximum of five players on the court. Player substitutions can be made at any time and there is no restriction on the number of substitutions made. A ball can travel through dribbling or passing. A player is no longer able to dribble with the ball once the player puts two hands on the ball. At this point, a player must either pass or shoot. If a team wins possession back in their own half, they have ten seconds to get it into their opponent's end or a foul will be called. An attacking team has 24 seconds from gaining possession of the ball to shoot After the shot is taken, the clock is restarted for another 24 seconds. After a team scores a basket, the ball is returned back to the opposition to start again. All fouls that are committed throughout a game are to be accumulated and when a certain number is reached, the umpire will award a free throw. Depending on where a technical foul is committed, the umpire may award a number of free throws a player will receive. Player Positions Violations can be awarded by the officials in basketball for player handling errors. These include travelling, double dribble, goal-tending and back court violation. Scoring
In a game of basketball there are three clear ways to score points. If a shot is successfully scored from outside of the three-point line, three points are awarded. If a shot is successfully scored from inside of the three-point line, two points are awarded. If a team is awarded a technical foul then they will receive between one and three free shots. Each shot scored will be awarded with one point.
Officials
During a competitive game of basketball there are two referees, a scorekeeper, timekeeper and a shot clock operator. To ensure that everybody is aware of a decision made, the referees perform a series of hand and arm signals. Subject Knowledge Organiser Basketball – Bounce Pass, Chest Pass, Jump Shot & Lay-up
