Cornhole rules

If you're new to cornhole and need to learn the rules, check it out here!

To play Cornhole you need 2 boards and 8 bags , with 2 different colors . 

The boards are placed 6-8m apart.
(We recommend starting with the shortest distance)

You can play with either 2 or 4 people . 

• If playing with 2 people, the players stand on either side of the same board.
• If there are 4 people playing, the other player stands on the opposite board. 

Play rock, paper, scissors to decide who starts, then the players now take turns throwing one bag each with their underhand until all the bags have been thrown. 

Only when all bags have been thrown are points counted . 

• Bags lying on the board give 1 point 
• Bags that go through the hole score 3 points. 
• Bags that lie on the ground/touch the ground or “roll” up onto the board give 0 points. 

Only one team can score points each round as points equal each other. 

• one team (blue) gets 5 points 
• and the other team (red) 3 points 
• 5-3 = 2 the blue team gets 2 points from the round . 

Throwing order : the player(s) who scored points in the previous round always starts the next round . If no points are scored, the throwing order continues as before.
