Canyon Cornhole League FAQ
Introduction to tokens:
There are two types tokens, GRAND PRIZE TOKENS (GT) and AWARD TOKENS (AT) .
GT- GRAND PRIZE TOKENS - These tokens can be used to enter games, enter raffles, and issue challenges. The most GT won is also what decides who wins the GRAND PRIZE.
Everyone who participates starts each League Day with 20 GT tokens and that is your shot to go after the Grand Prize by winning other peoples GT tokens through competition.
Your goal is to win as many as you can by the end of the night and turn those in towards your scoring for the
night. If you win other peoples GT and say you turn in 28 GT, then that is your GT score for the night and the next league night will start a new night of scoring.
If you lose all your GT then your GT score for the night would be 0. If you run out of people to challenge for GT, then you can
move on to using AT which are accumulated for other raffles and awards.
AT - AWARD PRIZE TOKENS - These tokens are secondary and can be used for competition, raffles, and qualifying for awards. The only difference between GT and AT, AT does not count
towards your Grand Prize score.
When you have no one else to challenge with GT, you can
receive 20 AT for every $5 donation. This gives you plenty of ammo to build your score for any of our other awards outside the Grand Prize.
How do I get my starting tokens for the night?
Show up to the scoring tent and register. You will fill out your player sheet and decide what level donation you want to participate with, this will decide your starting amount. You will then receive your player score sheet and whatever number of tokens you chose to start with.
You are limited to 20 GT but you can acquire unlimited AT if you run out of GT.
When you are done for the night,
return to the scoring tent and have your scores for the night recorded and that completes scoring for your day. Only your final scores rolls over to be added up.
Any tokens you have will either be used for fun the night of or turned in to counts towards scoring. Every League event
you will start with a new token base for that night’s scoring.

against AT.
I want to wager AT but my opponent only has GT, what do I do?
Your opponent would need to acquire AT by visiting the scoring tent. AT can only be wagered against AT and GT can only be wagered against GT.
Do I use my GT and AT for wagering in competitions?
Yes. If you would like to challenge someone in any game, simply present them with the challenge and what you want to wager. If they agree, you compete, winner takes all.
Do I use my GT and AT for raffles?
You can. Please remember that while either GT or AT can be used for any game or raffle, ONLY GT can be counted towards the grand prize. So if you are entering Raffles, and there is no token
wager, it would be advisable to use AT so you do not take away from your GT count towards the grand prize.
Do both GT and At count towards my League points?
Yes- they both have value and can win you prizes. When you are done for the night, take your scoring sheet and all tokens to the scoring tent for recording. We will keep your scoring sheet on
file week to week for scoring and records.
Where can I see the points standings?
Results will be posted ON Facebook every week on the event page.
What if someone attempts to cheat?
We are fully aware that it is possible for someone to attempt to game the system unfairly. There are rules in place to ensure that we can make any decision needed to address any attempts at
unfair advantages. Should someone be caught blatantly stealing or cheating the system, you will be given a refund for the night and asked to leave the canyon never to return. In short, we
want everyone to have fun and we will not allow any unfair gaming attempts.
What all can I spend tokens on?
- Raffle entry
- Game competition
- Prizes
- Turn them in to go towards your score
Do I have to turn the tokens in at the end of the night?
Yes. If you do not care about building a score and just want to support the cause by having fun with community friends, spend all your tokens you want for fun and competition.
Can I give my tokens away?
(AT - Yes)
(GT - No)
AT - Yes because there is no limit to how many a person can start with and the aggregation of them cannot be used to skew awards.
GT - No because they are meant to be limited to 20 per person starting and only increase through competition wins. Dumping of these to another person could give them an unfair
advantage.
Do I get any credit for my food purchases?
Yes! Bring your food receipt to the scoring table and it can be traded for tokens in the amount of the receipt shown, in 5 dollar increments. Example: You have a food receipt that is $15.84 -
Bring your receipt to the scoring table and you will get $15 worth of tokens. If you have a receipt that $19.01 - you would receive $15 in tokens. If you have a receipt that is $21 - you would
receive $20 in tokens. We will round up and down to the nearest $5 accordingly.
We have highly trained forensic receipt detectives and any attempts at receipt fraud on any level will be addressed at the time of observation.
It’s tuesday and I found extra tokens in my pocket can I turn them in?
Unfortunately they are null and void. Once scoring is closed for the league night, there are no altering scores without extreme circumstances. The cornhole committee has the final decision
on any situation.
