Elvis Orr, local Cornhole Star

Several Beach Cornhole players are in the big leagues, ranked in the Corny Forty King of Cornhole World Rankings. Check out our own local cornhole wonder Elvis Orr (left) at #8 for the 2011 season. Current rankings

Great for the whole family!  Cornhole, also known as “tailgate toss”, “bean bag toss”,  “baggo”, “corn toss”, or just simply “bags” is a lawn  game in which players take turns pitching cornhole bags  (duck cloth bags filled with whole kernel corn) at a  raised wooden platform with a hole in the far end. There  are several versions and sizes but the most well-known  size is 2 feet wide by 4 feet long with a 6 inch hole  centered 9inches down from the top.The surface sits 12  inches high off the ground in the back and 4 inches high  in the front. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points,  while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues  until a player reaches the score of 21. The game can be  played as either doubles or singles and uses two boards  with 8 bags (4 of one color and 4 of another).      Ok, so why is it fun? It’s fun  because the entire family can play. It doesn’t matter if  you’re 9 years old or 90 years old. Just about anyone can  play. It’s great for parties, special events,  tailgaiting, or just for some fun in the backyard to get  your family out of the house every once in a while. It’s  easy to learn and can be challenging at any skill level.

Cornhole Rules

There are thousands of variations on rules for cornhole. The ones posted below are only one way of playing the game.

• 1 point for a cornhole bag that is hanging off the edge but not touching the ground.
• 0 points for a cornhole bag that is on the playing surface, but also touching the ground.
• 0 points for a cornhole bag that is hanging off the front edge and is resting on a cornhole bag that is on the ground. If you can remove the bag on the ground without the one on the board falling then a point is given.

1. The team with the highest round score, adds the difference of the two scores to their game score.
2. The team who wins the round is given honors to throw first in the next round.
3. If both cornhole teams have the same round score then the game score stays the same and honors stays with the team who had it the previous round.

Cornhole Fouls

2. Each cornhole team will have 4 bags of one color.
3. All 8 cornhole bags begin at one end.
4. A coin flip or rock/paper/scissors determines witch cornhole team has honors in round one.
5. The team who has honors will begin play by throwing a cornhole bag at the opposite cornhole board.
6. A cornhole player may throw from anywhere behind the front of the cornhole board they are throwing from.
7. Alternate throws between the two opponents until all 8 cornhole bags have been thrown.
8. If a cornhole bag hits the ground then bounces up onto the board, remove that bag for it does not count.
9. Count the points scored during the round. If no team has reached the 21 point mark start the next round until a team reaches 21. The team that scores the highest amount of points on the previous round will have honors.
