Frequently Asked Questions

What are the tournament rules?
K
L

Rule 1: 1 point for bag on board. 3 points for in the hole.

Rule 2: Points cancel. For example:

Rule 3: If any part of the bag is touching the ground, it does not count.

Rule 4: Roll-ups/Bounce-ups DO count.

Scoring: Games are to 21 points. Winner will be awarded 2 extra points for a total of 23. The loser will be awarded the points they scored to be counted towards their round robin total. I.E . Score is 21-17, winner gets 23 , and loser gets 17. Top 16 teams will go through to the second round (Single elimination). Winner from each court automatically goes through. Last 6 teams to go through will be decided based on highest score. In case of a tie on those 6 teams: then a single toss (by each player) playoff will occur to determine the team to advance.

Round Robin: You have one court. Two teams should always be playing and the other 3 teams should rotate officiating/keeping score.

Single Elimination Rounds: Follow same rules as above

General Rules: To determine which team tosses first please use the “rock, paper, scissors” methodology. After that, the player who goes first is the one player that most recently scored.

The first side of contestants alternate tossing their corn bags until they have thrown all four bags, then the remaining contestant (tossing from the other cornhole platform) continue to alternate in the same manner until all four bags are delivered and the inning completed.

One contestant from each team shall be at each end of the court. When contestants are tossing their bags, the contestants at the other end shall be well behind & to the side of pitcher’s box (for their own safety).

K
L
This event revolves around friendly competition NOT strict rules and the desire to outperform your competition at all costs. If you are a beginner or novice player looking for a relaxing and fun day on the beach with a few friends, this event is for you. If you are looking to hone your bag tossing skills in order to advance into other more competitive leagues or championships, we suggest directing your participation towards an ACL tournament or league instead.
How do I assess on my registration if my team is a “novice” or competitive” level team?
K
L

Seeing as this tournament is a small, friendly charity event, we classify "Novice" players as non-experienced in the sport OR someone who plays less than once per quarter. “Competitive” players are classified as someone who plays regularly in their backyard, with friends or in leagues (more than a handful of times per year).

*Please note – this is a CHARITY TOURNAMENT – there are no referees and those running the tournament are volunteers. Our equipment is either handmade for portability not competition and/or of standard quality. We use the ACO Guidelines for Cornhole. We rely on all participants to be honest in their own scorekeeping and to understand that mistakes can happen at all levels of scorekeeping, bracketing and judging. We appreciate your constructive feedback and welcome your spirited yet good-natured competition.
