Cornhole

Cornhole Rules

Before you play

Cornhole can be a 2 or 4 player game. You can play two-on-two, or one-on-one! The two cornhole boards are placed facing each other between 5 and 8 meters apart, depending on the size, strength, and confidence of the players. Each team will have one player on either side of the playing field. Each team will get 4 bags (all 4 of the same colour). All 8 bags will start at the same side. A round of rock, paper, and scissors will determine who begins. Best out of one!

How to play cornhole

One member of each team stands behind the foul line at each board and faces their teammate. The two players (one from each team) will alternate in throwing the bags onto the board facing them, until all 4 bags are thrown.

After the round, the bags are collected and thrown by the remaining players in the opposite direction. This will be repeated until one team wins!

Scoring

For each bag going through the hole, 3 points will be awarded to that team. For each bag that is on the board at the end of the round, 1 point will be awarded to that team. If your bag is knocked off the board by either your own or your opponent’s throw, it will not count. 0 points will be awarded to bags not on the board.

The first team to reach 21 points is the winner! It must be 21 exactly, going over will have you bust and sit out the round. Your team will then restart the next round from the score you had at the end of the previous round. The round that is being played when a team reach 21 points must be completed. This means that bags can still be knocked off the board!
