Scoring
All scores can be submitted via the tablet assigned to the court you are playing on or reported to cornhole central.
The approved method of scoring for the sport of cornhole is “cancellation” scoring. In cancellation scoring, the points of one player cancel out the points of their opponent. Using this method, only one player/team can score in each inning.
Bag On-The-Board: Any bag which comes to rest anywhere on top of the board. Each is worth one (1) point.
Bag In-The-Hole: Any bag which is thrown through the hole or knocked through the hole by another bag. Each is worth three (3) points.
Foul Bags – Refers to any bag that has not been determined as Bag On-The Board or Bag In-The Hole or was
designated a foul bag as the result of rules violation.
