CORNHOLE RULES

Game is played to 21 points.

Woody for 1 Point

A pitched cornhole bag that remains on the cornhole board  surface at the conclusion of the frame.  Note: A bag that comes to rest touching the board AND the ground does not count for points.

Cornhole for 3 Points

A pitched cornhole bag that passes through the board hole during the frame.

Cancellation Scoring

The points of one player cancel out the points of their opponent. Using this method, only one player/team can score in each frame.

GamePlay

  • Both players play one board at a time and stay in their designated lane for the whole game (right or left).
  • Players start the game at one board and alternate pitching bags until each player has pitched all (4) of their bags.
  • Players then walk to the end of their lane to the other board, take score, and resume pitching back to the other cornhole board.
  • Players must deliver the bag with an underhanded release.
    Feet must stay behind the line of the front of the board at the time of releasing the bag.
  • The player/team who scored in the preceding frame pitches first in the next frame. If neither player/team scores, the player/team who pitched first in the preceding frame shall retain first pitch in the next frame.

If bags become piled inside the hole and may interfere or obstruct with the next pitch or if there is question whether a cornhole bag would have naturally fallen through the hole, a player may request to rake the cornhole bags that have fallen inside the hole.
