Red and yellow cards are commonplace in football, but what do they mean in badminton?
- When a badminton player commits the first offence under Rules 16.4, 16.5 or 16.6 in a match, the referee will warn the offending player with a yellow card.
- If a player who has been warned commits another offence under Rules 16.4, 16.5 or 16.6, the referee will issue a red card to the player concerned.
- When the referee awards a serious infringement or repeated infringement of Rule 16.4, 16.5, or 16.6 and intends to recommend to the referee that the player be disqualified from the match, the referee shall award the offending player a red card and summon the referee.
- At the time the Referee-in-Chief decides to disqualify the player, he will hand the black card to the Referee, who will use the black card to award the player misconduct and disqualify him from the match.
