Cornhole Game Rules

.

Cornhole Playing Field

Cornhole Playing Field

Singles or Doubles Play

The game can be played as singles or doubles. In singles play, the players pitch their bags from the same end of the board. In doubles play, one player from each team pitches from one end of the board and the other two players from opposing teams pitch from the other side. All other rules are basically the same for singles and doubles play.

Pitching

·        Each player will play with (4) cornhole bags

·        Players must pitch the bags with an under-hand release

·        Player’s feet must remain within the pitcher’s box at the time of releasing the bag

·        Players take turns pitching their bags (one player at a time) from the pitcher’s box until each player has pitched all (4) bags

Scoring

Woody – Any cornhole bag that has been pitched and lands on the board. Each woody is worth 1 point.

Cornhole – Any cornhole bag that has been pitched and lands inside the hole. Each cornhole is worth 3 points.

Knocker – Any cornhole bag can be knocked in the hole or off the board by either the same player or the opposing player resulting in 3 points or zero points respectively.

Dirty Bags – Any cornhole bag that touched the ground at any time. If the bag touched the ground before landing on the board, no point is recorded and the bag is immediately removed from the board.

Foul – Any cornhole bag that has been pitched in rules violation, i.e. pitching with feet outside of the pitchers box (foul line), pitching over hand, or pitching out of turn.

Cancellation Scoring

In cancellation scoring, the points of one player cancel the points of the other player. In this method of scoring, only one player/team can score in an inning.

· Example 1:

Red Team achieves 2 woodies (2 points) and 1 cornhole (3 points) – Blue Team achieves 1 woody (1 point) and 1 cornhole (3 points)

5 Red Team points4 Blue Team points = 1 Red Team point for that inning

· Example 2:

Red Team achieves 0 woodies (0 points) and 1 cornhole (3 points) – Blue Team achieves 3 woodies (3 point) and 0 cornholes (0 points)

3 Red Team points3 Blue Team points = 0 Team points for that inning

Honors

The team that scored points in the previous inning has the honor of pitching first in the next inning. If no score was made then the player/team who pitched first in the previous round shall retain first pitch in the next inning.

Play to 21

Team points are added in each inning to add to the team’s total score. The game is played until one player/team reaches the score of 21 points or more. The winning team does not need to win by two or more points.

The game cannot end in the middle of an inning. So if a team pitches and reaches or exceeds 21 points, the other team is allowed to pitch all of their bags until the inning is completed.

About Antics

To us, cornhole is more than a game with a strange sounding name. It’s a true American game played by only the most radical dudes that can be found at any tailgate or party. If you see an Antic playing horseshoes or washers, they look like a cow on roller skates. This exact passion for tossing bags is why CornholeAntics is so awesome. We have meticulously labored over the perfect construction and design of our boards. They are built for the most difficult cornhole critics – us. They have finally met our highest standards for cornhole righteousness. Antics boards are everything boards should be. They’re day-drinking in the sun. They’re delicious weekend tailgate BBQs. They’re Corvettes on the highway.
