How to Play
Cornhole takes about two minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. Here's everything you need to walk up to the boards with confidence.
Scoring at a glance
- 21 Points wins the game
- 27' Front edge to front edge
- 3 Points — bag in the hole
- 1 Point — bag on the board
The objective
Two teams take turns tossing bags at a raised board 27 feet away. Sink it in the hole for 3 points, land it anywhere on the board for 1 point. Bags that touch the ground first — or hang off touching the ground — don't count.
Cancellation scoring
Only one team scores per round. Add up each team's bags, and the difference is what counts. If you score 7 and your opponents score 5, you take 2 points and they take nothing. It keeps every game close — and every comeback possible. First team to 21 wins.
Equipment
Regulation boards and bags, all provided by the league. Boards sit 27 feet apart, front edge to front edge. Just show up ready to throw.
Respect the Throw
We're competitive, but we're a community first. Four simple rules keep league night fun for everyone.
-
Respect the throw
Stay quiet and still while an opponent is mid-toss. Heckle between rounds, not between fingers and bag.
-
Hold the line
Feet behind the foul line — the front edge of the board — until the bag leaves your hand.
-
Keep it moving
A steady pace of play keeps the round robin on time and the bracket rolling. Be ready when it's your turn.
-
Settle it friendly
Close call on a score? Talk it out respectfully. Can't agree? A league organizer makes the final call — then we throw on.
That's it — you know cornhole
The rest is reps. Come get some on a Wednesday night.
