The purpose of this study was to investigate the temporal and notational structures of mixed doubles and women's doubles games in badminton doubles events and obtain basic information for coaches and players in order to set up specific badminton training drills. Eleven matches of each event  (n＝ 22)  were selected from the top categories of BWF World Tour tournaments held from 2018 to 2019 and analyzed. Total rally time (XD：637.9 ± 106.7 s vs . WD : 1135.1 ± 523.7 s ; P＜ 0.05), rally time (XD: 8.2 ± 1.4 s vs . WD : 13.5 ± 4.2 s ; P＜ 0.05), percentage of time played (XD : 26.1 ± 3.1 % vs . WD : 35.3 ± 6.3%；P＜ 0.05), work density (XD : 0.35 ± 0.05 vs . WD：0.55 ± 0.16；P＜ 0.05), total shots (XD : 899.4 ± 139.8 vs . WD : 1350.8 ± 578.2；P＜ 0.05）, and shots per rally （XD：11.4 ± 1.7 vs . WD：16.1 ± 4.4；P＜ 0.05） were significantly higher in the women's doubles event than in the mixed doubles event. Shot frequency showed a significantly lower value in the women’s doubles event (XD：1.41 ± 0.04 vs . WD : 1.21 ± 0.06 ; P＜ 0.05). Tempo (total rally time / total shots） was significantly shorter in the mixed doubles than in the women's doubles (XD : 0.76 ± 0.02 s vs . WD : 0.83 ± 0.04 s ; P＜ 0.05). In conclusion, comparing the mixed doubles and the women’s doubles, we found that the temporal and notational structures of both events were different. The significant differences in the data observed between the events may help coaches and players effectively and efficiently manage training and competition preparation in line with current badminton events characteristics.
