4-10 players play on each pitch, evenly distributed over both halves of the pitch. The foremost players on both sides are in the field and pass the shuttle to each other. The remaining players wait in single file behind the playing field until it is their turn. After each stroke, the respective player runs to the opposite side, lines up at the back and waits for his next stroke. The player at the front of the column becomes the new batter. If a player makes a mistake (hit out or ball falls to the ground in their own court), they are eliminated from the game. The last 2 players play a final game to 3 points.
Variant:
Ejected players have the chance to return to the game by being eliminated by the player who threw them out (i.e. last touch of the ball before the error).
