Home And Family

I’ve noticed that a lot of you are in search of the actual rules to the great game of cornhole. Most of us have learned the game from friends who might get a little tipsy and set up the boards wherever they like. Some of us even have that friend who’s an “expert” and “eyeballs” the distance between the boards. Well, we’re gonna cover the most argued-about issues when setting up a rousing game of cornhole.

SPACING

The cornhole boards should be spaced 27 feet apart, no ifs ands or buts. I know the issue of space to accommodate the boards can arise, but if you have the room you should play it right, right? Right.

GAME OVER

Another concern seems to be deciding when the game is complete. The first team to score 21 or over wins, simple as that.

FOUL LINE

Lastly, you are allowed to throw from the “foul line”, which is actually at the front of the board you’re throwing from. Honestly, I never even knew that. I’ve always thrown from somewhere around the hole, so I know my game is going to get even better with that little piece of info.

For those of you who haven’t been completely sure of these rules or have been looking for facts to settle an argument, there you go. Since the warm days are growing exponentially, we might as well start this year’s season off on the right foot and avoid as much arguing as possible. This game’s meant to be fun, right?
