CORNHOLE RULES
TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER – ST. PETE CORNHOLE
- All decisions by the Tournament Organizer will be final.
SPORTSMANSHIP
- Any player who uses profanity or abusive language, makes obscene gestures, or exhibits any other form of unsportsmanlike conduct toward other players, tournament officials, or others who are in the area of play, shall be subject to expulsion from the tournament.
BASIC GAME PLAY
- Tournament will be double elimination. There will be an 0-2 bracket for those that do not win their first two games. This will ensure everyone plays 3 games
- The game is played with 2 players.
- The boards will be placed 27 feet apart (front to front).
- Team partners face each other from OPPOSITE BOARDS. Play starts at either board with all eight bags.
- Each team plays with a set of 4 bags and each team has their own color bag. A coin toss takes place. The winner gets to pick Bag Color or what side of the board they want to stand on. Winner also throws first.
- Opponents alternate tosses until all 8 bags are played.
- The round is then scored (see scoring).
- Repeat the play from the other end and the highest scoring team from the previous throw has honors.
SCORING
- The first team to get 21 or more points wins!
- A team earns 1 point for bags on the board. They can't hit the ground and the bounce on the board, nor can they be touching the ground. It is appropriate to remove all bags from the board that hit the ground first. This is done before play is continued.
- A team earns 3 points for bags that go into the hole. They must go completely in the hole. Bags that are hanging in the hole only count for 1 point. If your opponent knocks your bag into the hole, you still get the 3 points.
- The score is the difference in the team totals. For example: After 1 round or 8 bags played; If team #1 has thrown 1 bag into the hole and three off the board, their total is 3 points. If team #2 has thrown 1 bag on the board and three off the board, their total is 1 point. You subtract team #2's score from team #1's score and the total score for the round is team #1 earns 2 points.
