Official Tyranena Bag Tournament Rules

Everyone has their own, unique way of playing cornhole. Read below to learn our tournament rules! Our first and most important rule is to have fun! Like all recreational sports, everyone comes out for a good time, so please exercise sportsmanship.

The Game: A game is made up of frames wherein each team alternates tossing their team's 4 bags until all bags (8) have been tossed towards the opposite board. At the conclusion of each frame, the score is calculated and added to the team's net total. A winner is determined when a team reaches or surpasses 21 points at the conclusion of a frame.

Game Time: Each match consists of three games with the winner taking 2 out of 3 games to advance to the next round. If the first two games are won by the same team, the 3rd game does not need to be played. Play time is 30 minutes from the scheduled match time. If a game is incomplete at the end of match time, the team with the most points in that game, will be considered the winner of that game. In the event of a tied score, a sudden-death frame will determine the winner.

Set-Up: Each court consists of two boards spaced 27 feet apart front-to-front and two sets of 4 bags. Boards will be measured by the tournament manager prior to the first scheduled game time. All boards and bags are provided by Tyranena Brewing Co.

Scoring: The object is to be the first team to reach or surpass 21 points. Points are scored by landing a tossed bag on the board (1 point) and by having a tossed bag drop into the hole (3 points). Once all eight bags have been tossed, players calculate the points scored per team. Bags must remain on the board to the conclusion of the frame to count in the points calculations. The team with the higher number of points is awarded the point difference. If a team is winning 13-0, it is considered a skunk and the leading team wins the game.

Example: "Team A" scores 8 points in frame 1, and "Team B" scores 2 points in frame 1. "Team B"'s 2 points are subtracted from "Team A"'s 8 points awarding 6 points to "Team A"'s net total.

Scoring Discrepancies: All scoring discrepancies need to be taken to the tournament manager immediately. The tournament manager will make the final ruling on all discrepancies. Please remember, we are out here to have fun! At the end of the day, it is just cornhole!

Beginning a Match: The captains begin the match with a coin flip. The winner determines the end from which play will begin and gets the first throw.

Tossing: After the first frame (See Beginning a Match), the team that scores the most points per frame tosses first in the next frame. If no points are scored, the last team to score points in a frame tosses first.

Knocking Opponents Bags Off Boards: This is a risky strategy some players like to use. It is fair game.

Violations Resulting in Bag Being Removed from Board: Bags may be removed from board if the player crosses the foul line before releasing the bag, the bag hits the ground and bounces onto the board, or the bag strikes an object (such as a person, etc.).

Winning: The first team to reach a minimum of 21 points at the end of a frame wins the game.

Skunk: If a team is winning 13-0, it is considered a skunk and the leading team wins the game.

Playing Court: Players may stand anywhere to the left or right of the board but must stay on that side for the entire match. Court area is anywhere behind the front of the board. Teammates stand at opposite boards but must play on the same side.

Foul Line: The foul line is located at the front of the board. All players must toss from behind the foul line. If a player crosses the foul line on his or her toss, that toss does not count, and they cannot toss that bag again.

Player Requirements and Substitutions: Two registered players per team are allowed and required. No player substitutions will be made during the tournament. If a team cannot complete play, they forfeit the match.

Forfeits: Each match is allotted 30 minutes to play the best 2 out of 3. A team will forfeit their match if both players do not show up within 5 minutes of their scheduled playing time, awarding the opposing team the win. If a team shows up within the allotted 5 minutes, teams will not receive extra time to play, and must complete their match in what remains of the 30 minute allocated match time. If the best 2 out of 3 has not been determined within the scheduled timeframe, the team that showed up late will lose the remaining game(s) in the match.

"No-Shows": A "no-show" will be recorded as a forfeit. If a team "no-shows"/forfeits, they will forfeit their registration fees.
