(We will not be weighing bags.)
CORNHOLE GAME PLAY:
1. Two teams of two people, partners, shall play. Partners shall stand at opposite cornhole
boxes on the same side, from the perspective of a third person, and face each other, so

4. A coin flip shall determine which cornhole team starts in inning one. Each team
pairing will do this on their own.

at the opposite cornhole box with an under-hand release.
6. A cornhole player may throw from anywhere behind the front of the cornhole box they
are throwing from. The pitcher must be within the pitcher’s box or behind the foul line
at the time of release.
7. Game continues by alternating throws between the two opponent players until all
8 cornhole bags have been thrown.
8. If a cornhole bag hits the ground then bounces up on the board, that “bounce-up” will
not be scored and the bag will be removed from the board.
9. The next inning starts when the cornhole player on the team that scored last, throws
their first cornhole bag.
10. The cornhole game will continue until one team reaches or exceeds 21 points or the
20 minute time limit has been reached. In the event of a time limit ending, the team
with the most points will advance to the next inning.
FOULS: A foul occurs when any of the following happens:
1. A cornhole player’s foot goes past the foot foul line, termed a foot foul.

0 points for a cornhole bag that is on the playing surface, but also touching the
ground.
0 points for a cornhole bag that is hanging off the front edge and is resting on a
cornhole bag that is on the ground (unless the cornhole bag on the ground can be
removed without making the hanging bag fall to the ground, then 1 point is given).
3. The cornhole team with the highest inning score, adds the difference of the two scores
to their game score.
4. The cornhole team who wins the inning is given honors to throw first in the next
inning.
5. If both cornhole teams have the same inning score, then the game score stays the same
and honors stays with the team who had it the previous inning.
