How to Set Up:

Two boards are placed facing each other at a distance of 8.23 metres (27ft) between the front edge of each board.

For a singles game, you and your opponent stand on either side of the same board. For doubles, you and your partner line up directly across from each other. 

How to Score:

1 point is awarded for each bag that lands on the board, and 3 points for landing a bag in the hole. Cornhole uses cancellation scoring, meaning that you receive the points you score, minus your opponents points. For example, if team A throws 1 bag in the hole and lands one on the board, and team B lands only 1 bag on the board, the score for that round is 3 for team A.

The first person, or team, to reach 21 points wins.

How to Play:

Determine who goes first (toss a coin, or spin a bag). Now comes the good part!

You and your opponent grab 4 bags each, and then take turns throwing a bag underhand at the board opposite you, stopping once each team has thrown all 4 bags. If playing singles, walk to the other board, calculate the scores and throw back. For doubles, no need to walk down, your partner instead throws the bags back towards your board.
