HACC Cornhole League Guidelines
BASIC GAME PLAY:
- The game is played with 2 or 4 players.
- The boards are placed 27 feet apart (front to front).
- Team partners face each other from OPPOSITE BOARDS.
- Play starts at either board with all eight bags.
- Each team plays with a set of 4 bags and each team has their own color bag.
- Opponents alternate tosses until all 8 bags are played.
- All tosses MUST be underhand.
- No bags are allowed to be touched during the playing of an inning.
- The round is then scored (see scoring).
- Repeat the play from the other end. The highest scoring team from the previous throw (inning) has honors, meaning they get to toss first
SCORING:
● The first team to get 21 points exactly wins. If a team goes over 21 points, their score is reset to 15 (Teams can also play as the first team to reach/exceed 21 points).● A team earns 1 point for bags on the board. The bag can not hit the ground and then bounce on the board, nor can the bag touch the ground. It is appropriate to remove a bag from the board that hit the ground first. This should be done before play is continued.● A team earns 3 points for bags that go into the hole. They must go completely through the hole. Bags that are hanging in the hole only count for 1 point. If your opponent knocks your bag into the hole you get the 3 points.● The score is the difference in the team totals.TIMING:- All winners of the inning will be decided reaching 21 points, or by highest score if not completed within a 30 minute time limit per inning.
- ○ For example: After 1 inning or 8 bags played, Team #1 has thrown 1 bag into the hole and three off the board. Their total is 3 points. Team #2 has thrown 1 bag on the board and three off the board. Their total is 1 point. You subtract team #2’s score from team #1’s score and the total score for the inning is 2 points for team #1.Bag Complete through the hole = 3 POINTS Bag Partway through the hole= 1 POINT Bag on the Board= 1 POINT
Miscellaneous Rules:● Players can use any method to determine sides (i.e., coin toss, rock-paper-scissors) or a toss closest to the hole. You should also use the same method to see which team
goes first.
● Where you stand is a personal preference as long as you don’t cross the foul line which is an imaginary line that is even with the front of the board
