Simple Garden Rules
Below is a simple, yet fun, set of rules to get you started playing Cornhole...
-
The game is played with two teams. Each team plays with a set of four bags.
-
The first team to score 21 points wins.
-
The Cornhole Board/s should be placed 27 feet (c.8m) apart/from the throwing/foul line.
(A lesser throwing distance is recommended for junior players)
-
Players take it in turns to throw ("Pitch") a bag to the board, using an underarm throwing technique.
Players must not cross the throwing/foul line when pitching their bags.
-
How to score points;
-
"WOODY" 1 Point for any bag pitched that lands on the board. (If a bag is touching both the board and the ground no score is given)
-
"CORNHOLE" 3 Points for any bag pitched that goes through the boards hole.
-
The score for each round is determined by calculating the difference between team totals for the round.
