Only two things are needed to play CORNHOLE.

1 - CORNHOLE BOARDS
               &
2 - CORNHOLE BAGS

To have your very own boards and bags, call me! So, What is Cornhole?

Cornhole is a combination of the skills required in bowling, horseshoes, and softball.  The two cornhole bean bag toss game boards are placed on the ground facing each other.

    The distance varies according to age and skill level.

    Players stand alongside the board and toss a small bag at the hole in the opposite facing board.

    A bag in the hole is a "cornhole" or 3 points.

    A bag that lands on the board but does not go in the hole is 1 point.

    A bag toss of equal value thrown against an opponent cancels out the opponent's points.

Rules

1. For 2 or 4 players. (2 Teams)
2. Place the boards approximately 20 feet apart.
3. Team partners face each other from OPPOSITE BOARDS.
4. Play starts at either board.
5. Each team plays with a set of 4 bags.
6. Opponents alternate toss until all 8 bags are played.
7. The round is then scored. (See Scoring)
8. Repeat play from the other board.
9. The scoring team has the honor of tossing first in the next round.
Cornhole Scoring

    A game = 21 points.


    3 points for each bag in the hole is a cornhole!

    1 point for each bag on the board.

    Score is the difference in the team totals. For example: After 1 round or 8 bags played; #1 Team with 1 bag in the hole = 3 points.  #2 Team with 2 bags on board = 2 points. Score 1st round for #1 team = 1 point.

    Bags pushed in by an opponent's toss count.

Selection of Players and Positions

A coin flip usually determines the side of the board where a player chooses to stand.  After a completed game, the losing player has the choice of sides. The losing player or team has the option to switch sides or positions to minimize the effect of wind and sun.  The winning team shoots first or has "honors".
Playing Stance

Some players choose to stand along side the board with feet firmly planted behind the foot foul line (the front of the board the player elects to throw from), or elect to stride as they toss the bag.  Others may wish to stand directly behind the board and toss, sacrificing distance for an angle reduction.  Whatever the players stance, the opponent should always show proper respect for the players concentration by stepping back from the board until the player has completed his or her turn.  A players toes must not project past the front edge of the board (foot foul line) when tossing the bag or a foot foul will occur.
