Whether you’re hosting a backyard party or tailgate, cornhole is one of the most fun lawn games to play. There are official rules and regulations that should be followed, including the proper distance between the two boards. Knowing the correct regulation distance will help you achieve the dialed-in shot that will put you in the win column for any matchup. In this article, we will share the proper cornhole distance apart and also give you some alternative options that will allow you to play even if you don’t have 27 feet of space.
The proper distance for cornhole is 27 feet from the front edge of each board. This specific measurement is what makes the game a game of skill over luck and allows players to be competitive at every level. The regulation distance also sets up the pitcher’s box, a rectangle four feet by three feet located on either side of the boards and parallel to them. Players must remain in the pitcher’s box when throwing a bag to avoid being called a foul.
Foul lines are also placed on the front of each board, extending three feet from each side. The foul line is a distance of 27 feet from the front edge of the board and is set up to match the pitcher’s box on both sides of the boards. Juniors can opt for a different foul line that is 21 feet from the front edge of each board.
