Cornhole is one of the most fastest growing backyard games in the country. In fact, it has grown so much in popularity that it is even becoming a professional sport. There are some large tournaments held in America each year. There are also smaller regional tournaments, complete with ACL cornhole bags, that amateurs with a lot of skill can compete. The game has grown in popularity because it is so easy to learn. More people compete in it because it is not very physically demanding. The game is ideal for kids all the way up to senior citizens.
Like I said, the game is very simple. There are two boards set up about 15 feet apart. Each one is 1.5 feet long. They are slanted up towards the bag with a hole at the top. Two players, one from each team, line up behind either board. They then toss bags underhanded at the holes until their turn is over. You get one point for getting a bag on the board and keeping it there. You get 3 points if you get one in the hole. People all play to different totals, but tournament play goes to 21. Teams must win by 2 points.
If you are interested in getting into this sport, you should consider getting your cornhole set. They are a great resource for you to practice on your own at home. It’s also really fun to bust them out at parties so you can play with all of your friends. That is part of what is so great about cornhole. You can still have fun with it even if you aren’t great at it. It’s similar to bowling in that way, except it’s a much more accessible and low-cost game.
I know a few people that have built their cornhole sets. They look great. Let’s be honest, though. Not everyone is a good enough carpenter to make their set. I recommend taking advantage of companies like Custom Corn Toss for this. Companies like them can construct and design a cornhole game to your exact specifications. They can even paint your favorite sports teams’ logo on it for you. The options are limitless.
Before you go playing in an official cornhole game, you should probably learn to play a little first. You never know how good you can be. You will be much better if you have your cornhole set, though. You can practice whenever you want and always get a game going.
