TEAMS
Each team must consist of a minimum of 2 Cornholers and a maximum of 4 Cornholers, 21 years of age or older. Teams may consist of all males, all females, or co-ed. Teams who have more than 2 players may rotate players between rounds. If a teammate is absent, one substitute can be recruited to play (only during regular session games) or the player may play alone. A team playing with only one player will start each game with a 0-5 score.

COURT LAYOUT
Boards are placed approximately 25 apart from each other (measuring from the front of each board) for indoor play. Boards are placed approximately 27 apart from each other (measuring from the front of each board) for outdoor play.

EQUIPMENT
C’Ville Social provides all the equipment. This consists of 2 Official C’Ville Social Cornhole Boards and 8 bags. 4 bags are one color and 4 are a different color.  Players may also bring their own bags.

OFFICIALS
Each game and match will be self-scored and officiated. Team captains must be cordial and agree on scores.

GAME RULES

• League shirts will be provided and are your teams uniform. They must be worn during league play and worn to receive league drink/food discounts at the sponsor bar.
• For honors (the team that tosses first), Rock, Paper, Scissors will be played (best 2 out of 3 shoots).
• 2 players per team on opposite sides, with 4 bags each.? Teams who have more than 2 players may rotate between games, but the same 2 players must complete each game.
• Opponents alternate tossing the bags onto the board/into the hole, until all 8 bags have been thrown.
• Bags may be knocked off the board or in the hole by other tossed bags.
• The last team to score on a previous round will have honors.
• The thrower must stand behind the front foot line (the front edge of the board) of the Cornhole board. They may toss from either side of the board.
• Each match will last approximately 60 minutes. Teams will play a total of 5 games each match within that time allotment. If there is time left over, teams may continue to play for fun. If time runs out, games will end with the current score.

SCORING

• Teams will play a total of 5 games each match, so game scores should be recorded 5-0, 4-1, 3-2, 2-3, 1-4, 0-5.
• Playoffs are best of 3 games.
• First team to score or exceed 21 points wins the game.
• 3 points for a bag in the hole and 1 point for a bag on the board.
• Cancelation scoring.? For example, Team 1 gets one bag in the hole and one bag on the board = 4 points.? Team 2 gets one bag in the hole = 3 points. The final score from that round would be Team 1 with 1 point (4-3=1).

FOULS & ZERO POINTS

• If the thrower crosses the front foot line and tosses, they lose that toss (give or take a few inches) and the bag may be removed from the board.
• If someone tosses out of turn, they lose that toss and the bag may be removed from the board.
• Bags hitting the ground first and rolling onto the board do not count. ?You may remove the bag from the board.
• Bags hanging off the board and touching the ground do not count.
• Bags hanging off the board and resting on another bag, which is on the floor, do not count.? However, if the bag on the ground can be removed without making the hanging bag fall to the ground, then one point is given.
• If there is any type of interference, the player may toss again.

FORFEITS
Teams forfeiting two nights of play in one season are eligible to be removed from the league with no refund. Teams that forfeit their third night of play will automatically be removed from the league with no refund.
