RULE : Court Layout
The Cornhole Court –. The court consists of 2 boards, 4 designated pitcher’s boxes and foul lines (see illustration above).
This tournament will set boards 30’ apart from center hole to center hole.
Cornhole Pitcher's Box – A pitcher's box (rectangle 4 ft x 3 ft) is at each end of the court and on both sides of each board (4 boxes in all). Each cornhole player must remain in the pitcher's box while pitching bags.
Cornhole Foul Lines – The front edge of each cornhole board is the foul line. This applies to all sanctioned and non-sanctioned games.
Multiple Cornhole Courts – There should be a two-foot buffer zone

RULE : Game Play
Cornhole Doubles- In doubles play, two players are partners against another team of two (one member of each team pitches from one board and the other member pitches from the other board).
Beginning Play – Each team chooses one player to pitch. Best bag begins play. In the event of a tie a coin should be tossed. Higher numbered Team will call the toss.
Position Of Cornhole Players – In Doubles play, each player's partner is directly across from them in the opposite box at the other board. So each team has one player throwing from the left pitcher's box and one throwing from the right. Each player is assigned a pitcher's box and will be required to pitch from their box the entire game.
Delivery Of Cornhole Bags –Every match is broken down into frames of play. During each frame of play each player must pitch all four bags. In Doubles play, the “headboard” players (players pitching first) alternate until they've pitched all 8 bags, completing a frame. The "footboard" players (players pitching second) then call out the score before removing the bags. Once the footboard players also pitch in the same manner, their frame is completed. Cornhole players must deliver the bag within 15 seconds of stepping into the pitcher's box with the intention of pitching.
Cornhole Pitching Rotation – The player who scored in the preceding frame shall pitch first in the next frame. If neither pitcher scores, the player who pitched first in the preceding frame shall pitch first in the next frame. (In Doubles and Singles play, players switch "Pitchers Boxes" after each game)
Protests – If a player desires to make a protest, the protest shall be made to the judge or tournament official at the time the problem occurs. The tournament judge shall make the final ruling on all protests.

NOTE: Players can pitch with either hand; he or she does not have to use the same one throughout the game.

RULE: Length Of Game
Traditional 21 Game – The game is played until one team reaches (or exceeds) 21 points at the completion of a frame. The winning team does not need to win by two or more points.
The Cornhole Frame Must Be Finished – Matches cannot end in the middle of a frame. Thus, if a team pitching first reaches or exceeds 21 points, the game is not over until the other side is allowed to pitch all of their bags to complete the frame.
SHUCK or Skunk – Skunks do not apply to tournament play. (A skunk or shuck automatically ends the game when a team scores 13 or more points before the other team scores any points.)

RULE: Cornhole Scoring
Traditional 21" Scoring "– This is a negation or cancellation format where opposing players' frame points cancel one another out. Only those points that do not cancel out apply to the total overall score. Example: Red team scores 7 points in a frame and Blue team scores 9 points in the same frame. The difference is 2 (9-7=2). Blue team scores 2 points in that frame.
Scoring System
o Cornhole or “Suah” – A bag-in-the-hole (or Cornhole or Holer) is a bag thrown through the hole in the board. A bag can be pushed in by other bags from either player. 1 Cornhole = 3 points.
o On the Board, Woody, or Boarder– A bag that is not in-the-hole but lands with any portion resting on the board. It may not touch the ground before landing on the board. If it does, it's called a "DIRTY" and must be removed from the playing surface before another bag is tossed. A bag hanging on the board surface but touching the ground as well is also a "DIRTY" and has no point value and should be removed from playing surface before play continues. 1 Woody or Boarder = 1 point.
o Garbage, Stanker or Foul Bag – A bag which is not a Cornhole or Woody, or a bag which was delivered in non-compliance with one of the rules of the game. It has no point value, scores as a "DEAD BAGGER" and is to be removed from the board surface before any more bags are pitched. Played Bags moved or knocked by a foul bag will remain or score in the position moved to by the foul bag. This also applies to bags that are knocked into the hole.
1 Stanker or Foul Bag = 0 points.
