| CORNHOLE: RULES OF THE GAME |
Cornhole, Corn Toss, Bags, Bean Bag Toss, Tumor Toss, Sacks and Holes,
Sack-Hole, or Baggo is a game in which players take turns pitching small bags filled
with corn (or sand or beans) at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. These
platforms are usually plywood sometimes plastic and either all white or decorated
with a team name or any other custom creation. A corn bag in the hole scores 3
points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a player
reaches the score of 21. The platforms measure 4 feet ×2 ft. The Cornhole
platforms are set 30ft from hole to hole while the player can stand anywhere from no
further than the back of the platform but not any closer than the front of the platform.

Singles or doubles play
Cornhole/Corn Toss can be played as doubles or singles. In doubles play two
contestants are partners against another team of two contestants; in singles play a
contestant competes against another contestant.
In doubles play, one member from each team pitches from one cornhole platform
and the other members pitch from the other cornhole platform. In singles play, both
contestants pitch from the same cornhole platform. All other rules are basically the
same for doubles or singles play.

Innings
Every cornhole match is broken down into innings of play. During each inning there
is a top and a bottom round of play.
In doubles play, the top of an inning is completed when both contestants pitching
from the first cornhole platform pitch all 4 corn bags; the bottom of the inning is
completed when the remaining contestants (pitching from the other cornhole
platform) pitch all 4 corn bags.
In singles play, the top of an inning is completed when the first contestant pitches all
4 corn bags; the bottom of the inning is completed when the remaining contestant
pitches all 4 corn bags.
An inning is never completed until all contestants pitch all four corn bags.

Value of the Corn Bag
1. Corn Bag In-The-Hole - A corn bag in-the-hole (or Hole-In) is a corn bag which is
thrown through the hole in the cornhole platform or otherwise comes to rest inside
the cornhole platform (knocked in by another player or otherwise falls in). A corn bag
in-the-hole has a value of three points, or sixteen points when playing to final score
of 104.
2. Corn Bag In-The-Count - A corn bag that is not in-the-hole but lands with any
portion of the corn bag resting on the cornhole platform is in-the-count (sometimes
called on-the-board). A corn bag in-the-count has a value of one point. For a corn
bag to be in-the-count, it must not touch the ground or any other portion of the court
prior to coming to rest on the cornhole platform. If a corn bag touches the ground
before coming to rest on the cornhole platform, it is a foul and must be removed
from the cornhole platform prior to the continuation of play. If a bag rests on the
board but is supported or touching the ground in any way it does not count. Note: in
the "Sacks & Holes" version, a bag touching the ground is not removed before play
continues, and a later bag whose momentum is stopped by a grounded bag may
score points.
3. Corn Bag Out-Of-The-Count - A corn bag which comes to rest anywhere except
in-the-count or in-the-hole is out-of-the-count and has no scoring value. A corn bag
which is declared to be a foul is considered to be out-of-the-count (no matter where
it comes to rest) and must be removed from the cornhole surface prior to the
continuation of play.
4. If a player gets all four bags in the hole, it is an automatic 21 points and the player
wins (Optional Rule).
5. If the bag goes in without touching anything (swish) it is worth 5 points.(Optional
Rule).

Delivery of corn bags during play
1. In doubles play, the first side of contestants alternate pitching corn bags until they
have thrown all four corn bags, then the remaining contestants (pitching from the
other cornhole platform) continue to alternate in the same manner until all four corn
bags are delivered and the inning completed. Delivery in singles play is handled in
the same manner (but from the same platform) with each of the two contestants
alternating their pitching of corn bags until all four corn bags have been pitched
completing the inning.
2. A contestant may deliver the corn bag from either the left or right pitchers box (see
above) but, in any one inning, all corn bags must be delivered from the same pitcher’
s box.
3. Each individual contestant shall deliver the corn bag within 20 seconds. The time
shall start when the contestant steps onto the pitcher’s box with the intention of
pitching.

Length of the game
The Cornhole / Corn Toss match shall be played until the first team of contestants
reaches (or exceeds) 21 points at the completion of an inning. However, many play
by the rule which states if you go over 21 you go back to 15. This occurrence is
known as a "cwa-cwa." The winning team does not need to win by two or more
points.
