League Basics

Teams will play a minimum of 4 games per night.
You are permitted to bring your own bags as long as they are normal ACL approved bags. We also have bags on site for people to use.
Teams are permitted to have 2-4 players on their roster however only 2 people play each game and 'in-game subbing' is not allowed. Teams with more than 2 players can take turns playing later games.
We run our leagues through the Scoreholio app and our leagues have the full scoreholio set up including tablets, score towers and monitors.
Cornhole boards will be placed 27 feet apart from front edge to front edge.

To win you must be the first team to reach (or exceed) 21 points.
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 inning. The team with the higher score cancels out the points of the opposing team in that inning.
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 an inning, Team A earns 3 points for that inning.
