CORNHOLE BASICS

  • UK Intramural Cornhole play will be doubles play
  • A Match shall be the best two of three games
  • Scoring shall be “Traditional 21” format
  • The winner of the pre-match coin-toss shall have the choice of who tosses against whom and which team shall toss first
  • Each set of opposing partners shall toss their four cornhole bags toward the appropriate platform
  • The completion of one set of opposing partners tosses, four tosses per player, is considered a frame
  • Each toss must reach the platform in the air and may not skip or bounce on the ground
    • Bags that skip or bounce on the ground are illegal tosses and disqualified
    • Illegal or disqualified tosses may not score points nor prevent others from scoring by knocking bags of either team from the platform
    • Should an illegal toss knock any other bags from the platform, those bags are to be placed back on the board as close to their original position as possible
    • Once players agree to the location of the bag on the board no protest may be made should the bag fall from the platform later in the frame

“TRADITIONAL 21” CORNHOLE SCORING

  • Scoring shall be “Traditional 21” format
    • The first team to earn 21 points or pass 21points following completion of a frame wins the match
  • A bag going through the cornhole earns three (3) points
  • A bag landing and remaining on the platform without touching the ground earns one (1) point
  • “Dirty” bags
    • If any part of the bag is touching the ground, the bag is “dirty” and is to be removed from the board
    • The entire bag does not have to be on the platform and may hang on the side of the platform provided it does not fall or touch the ground
  • At the end of each frame, the total points earned are tallied and the difference given to the player with the higher total for his team’s total game score
  • Should the players have the same amount, neither team earns a point in that frame
