Cornhole Rules

Basic rules

Two teams participate in the game (one against one or two against two).
The players stand on their own side of the board and throw the bag towards the opposite board.
Players throw the bags alternately, one after the other.
Once both teams have thrown four bags, points are counted and the next play is thrown to the opposite board.
The team that scored points in the previous game starts the next game. If there was a tie, the same team as before starts.

A bag thrown into a hole scores 3 points .
A bag that remains on the board scores 1 point .
A bag that falls off the board scores 0 points . If a bag hits the board by bouncing off the ground, it does not count and must be removed from the board.
Point calculation: The team that scored more points after the play wins the difference between the points.
Example: if team A scored 5 points and team B scored 2, then team A scores 3 points for this play.

Cornhole boards: Standard boards are 122 cm x 61 cm. The hole is 22.8 cm from the top, and the diameter is 15.2 cm.

The first team or player to reach or exceed 21 points after the end of the game is the winner.
