How To Play Cornhole
Cornhole Rules
GETTING STARTED
- Set up boxes 30ft apart from center of hole to hole
- Two teams required. Teams comprise of either one or two people each
- For singles play (1 person per team), opponents start and play from the same end
- For doubles play (2 per team), teammates should line up next to opposite boxes and on opposite sides
- Start game with all 8 bags at one end
HOW TO PLAY
- Previous game winner or coin toss should determine which team throws the first cornhole bag
- Alternate throws between teams until all bags are thrown
- The foul line is made by the front of the boxes and all throws must be made from behind the foul line
- If a player breaks the foul line or throws out of turn, the player loses a turn
- The team that scores the most points in a round, starts the throwing for the next round
- If the round is tied the last team to win throws first
- Any bag which touches the ground during a throw should be removed from the board and not counted
POINTS
- 1 point for any bag thrown which lands on the board and not touching the ground
- 3 points for any bag in the hole
- Any bag which touches the ground during the throw or while hanging from the board does not count
TALLYING THE SCORE
- For each throwing round, the team with the most points wins the round and subtracts the other team's points from their total score
- The sum difference is then added to the winning team's score
- First team to reach 21 points wins
