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.
