Details About Scoring

Registration Form

What is Corn Toss?   This game is based on the wildly popular CornHole game played in the Midwest also known as Tailgate Toss. The boards are placed 27’ apart, with a team member at each end.  You toss a bag of corn that weighs about a pound at the board, which is slanted and has a 6” hole.  Each bag left on the deck is worth 1 point.  Any bags that go through the hole are worth 3 points.  Your opponent can knock you bag off to cancel your point.  After the first group of 4 bags are tossed, your teammate and the other opponent then toss toward your board.  The total of each round is added to the previous and the game is played to 21.

How do I get involved?   Grab a partner and join us under the tent on October 13th.

We are asking that you register your team by October 10th by dropping off your registration. Click Here for the Registration Form

We welcome adults as well as children.  Prizes will be awarded to the first place team in each division.

The tournament will follow a single-elimination format.  Each team will need to be registered and paid in advance of play.  Prize money will be determined by the number of teams that participate.  Space is limited, so please register early.

Adult Division will play on sets set 27’ apart.  Kids (under 15) play on sets set 21’ apart.

Game Play

In double play, partners shall stand at opposite boards on the same side.

In singles play, both players will throw from the same board.

Each team will have 4 bags of one color, and all 8 bags begin at one end.

                            (Bags are approximately 1 pound)

A coin flip determines which team has honors in round one.

The team with honors will begin by tossing bag to opposite board.

A player may throw from anywhere behind the front of the board.

Alternate throws between opponents until all 8 bags have been thrown.

If a bag hits the ground and bounces up onto the board, remove that bag for it does not count.

Count the points scored in the round.  If no team has reached the 21 point mark

Points System

              In-The-Hole     3 points for a bag that goes through the hole

              In-The-Count   1 point for a bag that is on the playing surface

              In-The-Count   1 point for a bag that is hanging into the hole

              In-The-Count   1 point for a bag that is hanging off the edge, but not touching the ground

              -0 points for a bag that is hanging off the front edge, but also touching the ground

              -0 points for a bag that is on the playing surface, but also touching the ground

The team with the highest round score, add the difference of the two scores to their game score.

The team who wins the round is given honors to throw first in the next round. If both teams have the same round score, then the game score stays the same and honors stay with the team who had it the previous round.

Fouls

A players foot goes past the foot foul line (front of board)

Bags that are Out-of-the-count due to fouls are to be removed from the board surface prior to continuation of play:

              Bag that is not delivered within the twenty second time limit

              Bag that contacted the ground before coming to rest on the board

              Bag that struck a previously defined object such as a tree limb, wire, etc.

              Any bag that is pitched when the player has started or stepped completely outside the pitching area.

Length of the Game

              Point Limits—The Corn Toss match shall be played until the first team reaches 21 at the completion of an inning.  The winning team does not need to win by two points.

              Skunks—The game shall be played to 21 unless a team scores 7 or more points at the end of an inning before their opponents score any points.  In this case, the game is a skunk and the team that scores 7 or more points win the match.
