Gameplay

• Two teams, consisting of two players, compete against one another. The team with the highest score after 12 minutes wins.

• Each team will stay in their designated lane (side) for the whole game.

• Players line up directly across from their playing teammate in the same lane.

• Players at the headboard alternate pitching bags until each player has pitched all four of their bags.

• Players at the footboard take score and resume pitching back to the other board.

• The team who scored points in the previous round goes first in the next round. If it was tied, the team who went first in the last round gets to go first again.

Pitching

• The pitcher's box is a rectangle 4 feet by 3 feet at each end of the court, parallel with, and on both sides of the boards. 

• Each player must remain in the pitcher's box while pitching a cornhole bag.

• Players cannot cross the foul line (front of the board) from which they are pitching until the bag is released.

• Each pitch should be made in 20 seconds or under.

Scoring

• A cornhole bag that goes through the hole is worth 3 points.

• A cornhole bag that lands on the board and stays there is worth 1 point.

• A cornhole bag that lands on the ground or bounces onto the board is worth 0 points.

• Cancellation Scoring: Only one team can score points per round. The team with the higher score cancels out the points of the opposing team in that round.

• Points Calculation: The team with the higher score in an inning earns the difference in points. For instance, if Team A scores 5 points and Team B scores 2 points in a round, Team A earns 3 points for that round.
