badminton variant
Badminton Mixed Doubles
For most players, mixed doubles badminton sits somewhere between the standard format and a totally different game. The scoring rules are subtly different from the main format, and Volley handles every variation automatically.
How the variant differs
Mixed doubles badminton keeps the core feel of badminton but tweaks the scoring or format in a specific way. The rules above describe the differences from the standard format.
Most players who try this variant find it changes the strategy more than they expected. The scoring difference cascades into how you approach each point.
How Volley scores it
In Volley, pick badminton as the sport and toggle the variant-specific options at match setup. The scoring engine applies the right rules from there — you just tap to score.
Volley tracks ratings separately for each variant where it makes sense — singles vs doubles in tennis and padel, indoor vs beach in volleyball, etc. So your performance in one variant doesn't skew your rating in another.
Free on iOS and Android
Volley is free across all 9 sports including every supported variant. Download on iOS or Google Play and start scoring matches in 30 seconds.
