GoSports CH-01-MDF Classic Cornhole Set
Game Setup
Find a nice flat surface on your lawn, in a parking lot, at the beach, etc.
Set up your boards directly facing each other with 27 ft between the front
edge of each board (boards can be closer for younger players and beginners).
Cornhole can be played with 2 or 4 players. Pick which side of the board
you’ll throw from. In a 4 player game, your teammate’s pitching box will be
directly across from you. In a 2 player game, if you start throwing from the
left side of the board, you’ll walk directly across to the other board, and
throw back from the right side. Lastly, pick your bags ( 4 for each team) and
get ready to play.
Game Play
Decide who goes first, then alternate turns throwing bags with your opponent. You throw one bag, then your opponent, then you, then your opponent. Your feet may not go past the front edge of the board. Also, a tossed bag may not touch the ground. If it hits the ground and bounces up on the board, remove it before any other bags are thrown. If it’s hanging off the board and touching the ground, remove that as well. When all 8 bags have been tossed to the other side, add up the score (see scoring below). If you earned the most points in that single round, your team will throw first in the next round.
Scoring
After all bags have been thrown for that round, add up your score as follows:
- 1 Point – Any bag fully on the board (touching the ground does not count)
- 3 Points – Any bag that made it through the hole
Each team’s points cancel each other out so that only one team can score per round. For example, if you scored 6 points and your opponent scored 2, you will add 4 points to your overall score and your team will throw first in the next round. If you scored 6 points and your opponent scored 6 as well, there will be no points awarded and whoever threw first in the last round will throw first again. A game is won when a team reaches 21 points with a lead of 2 or more points. Of course, you can play with your own variation of the official rules. For example, some play with the rule that you must reach 21 exactly. If you go over in points, your score is automatically reduced to 11 and play continues. Another variation is to count every point (no negation of points) and see who has the most points at the end of 13 rounds.
Care Instructions
Cornhole Board Care
- The game boards come fully assembled with legs that fold out (for playing) and fold in (for storage).
- Never leave out in the elements for prolonged periods of time. Always store indoors. Prolonged sun and water exposure may cause fading and possibly warping.
- While the boards are extremely solid for cornhole, they are not made to support huge amounts of weight. Do not stand on them for any reason.
Bean Bag Care
- If your bags get dirty from playing outdoors they can be hand washed with soap and hot water, but be sure to let them air dry.
