Badminton was invented in the 1860s by the daughters of the Duke of Beaufort, based loosely on an ancient game called "battledore and shuttlecock" and using the same equipment.

It was named after their dad's summer mansion, Badminton House in Gloucestershire, England, where they first played it.

The dimensions of the modem official badminton court, 44 feet long and 17 feet wide, reportedly match those of the room where the young women developed the game.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
