Game Rules

Cornhole Rules

For competitive play, place a set of cornhole boards 27 feet apart from front edge to front edge. Beginners, juniors and recreational players may want to start at a shorter distance. We recommend decreasing the distance in three foot increments to find a comfortable beginning playing distance
There are 4 bags per set. 2 sets of different colors are needed to play singles or doubles
The front of the board represents the foul line. Players may not step in front of the board or behind the board. Players must remain within three feet of their side of the board

Bag on Board = 1 point
Bag through Hole = 3 points
Bags that hit the ground prior to landing on the board or going into the hole do not count
Any bag hanging off the board and touching the ground does not count
Any bag hanging in the hole only counts as 1 point
Cancellation scoring is used at the end of each round. After all 8 bags have been thrown; the score is calculated based on the bags that remain on the board and have gone in the hole. If Team A has 4 points and Team B has 3 points, Team A will get 1 point
A game is played to 21+. There is no win by 2 or bust rule for going over 21
