Cornhole League Rules

1) Players:

Each team will have 2 players. Teams may play an alternative player twice per season, not in championship tournament, otherwise the team will forfeit.

2) Games:

Teams will play 1 match per night.

Teams will play 4 games per match.

The team that wins the most games in that match will win the round, if the score is 2 games a piece, then the cumulative scores of the games will determine the winner. If the score is still tied, there will be a single game to 11 to determine the winner. (The score of that game will not tally against the season points, it will only determine a winner)

3) Set-Up:

Teams start each game with rock-paper-scissors to determine who throws first.

Each team will position 1 of their players at one set of boards opposite each other. The

other player will be on the other set of boards.

Each set of boards has 4 bags per team that are thrown with the players from each team

alternating throws. After all bags are thrown, the players at the other board throw the

bags back at the opposite board.

In each round, only one team scores. The team that scores throws first in the next round.

If no points were scored, the team that threw first last throws first again.

4) Scoring:

A bag on the board is 1 point.

A bag going in the hole is 3 points.

Net Scoring: At the end of the round, subtract the lower team’s point from the higher.

Example: At the end of a round, your team scores 5 (one in the hole and 2 on the board)

and the other team scores 4 (one on the hole and 1 on the board).

Then your team scores 1 point for that round.

Each game goes to 21 points and you must win by 2 points. Teams do not have to hit 21

exactly and can go over.

Any bag which hits the ground before landing on the board is a foul and the bag is pulled

(other bags are replaced if moved).

If any part of the bag is touching the ground, it is a foul and the bag is pulled.

Throwing Line: Players should throw bags from behind the front edge of the board.

Bags can knock other bags off the board. If a bag is knocked into the hole by another

bag, the fallen bag counts as 3 points.
