Game in Brief:
- Two person teams
- Two cornhole boards at official distance
- Your teammate stands at opposite board
- Opponent stands next to you at one board
- Throw bags of corn to land on board or in hole
- Board counts as 1 point
- Hole counts as 3 points
- Opponent tries to get more on the board or in the hole
- Opponent also tries to knock off your corn bags
- Scoring Example: You get one in the hole for 3 pts – opponent gets one on the board for 1 pt – your total score is 2 points (3-1=2). Great way for kids to learn addition and subtraction.
- First team to 21, at the end of an inning, wins
- 15 minute time limit per game – rarely exceeded
