Rules and directions for game play.

There are some special rules to Cornhole. Cornhole bags can cancel each

bag out. The same rule applies for bags that land on the platform. This
cancellation rule means that only the player who scores more points

The objective of the game is to pitch a Cornhole bag into a 4 foot by 2 foot
board with a small hole at the top center. A successful pitch through the hole
will net 3 points for the player while one on the platform scores 1 point. The
first player to reach 21 points wins. The platforms are set 30 feet apart so that
players have a set distance to toss from. Cornhole can be played in singles or
doubles with the only difference being that in doubles play, teams of two take
turns tossing one at a time. The game is broken down into innings. There are
two parts to one inning, the top half and the bottom half. During the top half,
one player takes a turn pitching all four of his Cornhole bags. Then, during the
bottom half, the other player pitches theirs.

American Cornhole association or ACA. This league is considered to
be the regulating body on the game of Cornhole. They hold a world
championship Cornhole competition every year in South Webster,
