HOW TO PLAY CORNHOLE
Never played before? No problem. Follow these steps and you will be ready to play.
Players at one board alternate throws. Each player throws 4 bags, for 8 total bags in one frame.
Throw from behind the front foul line. A foul bag scores 0 and should be removed before play continues.
3 points through the hole. 1 point resting on the board. 0 points on the ground or off the board.
Compare both teams after all 8 bags are thrown. Subtract the lower frame score from the higher score. Only the difference is added.
The first team to reach or exceed 21 points at the end of a completed frame wins the game.
Check NEXT UP on the live tournament page. When your team is assigned to Cornhole #1, #2, etc., report to that court.
When the game ends, report the final score to Hammer Tournament Staff so the winner can advance on the Live Bracket.
