While the game of cornhole can be played on almost any surface, the courts used for tournaments and league play must meet specific rules that include the dimensions and distance of boards from each other. It’s important to know these measurements, as a fraction of an inch could make all the difference when it comes to a winning throw.
The Rules of Cornhole
A cornhole court should be a level rectangular area 10-12 feet wide and a minimum of 40-45 feet long. It should also have a designated pitchers box at each end of the court and foul lines, which should be positioned 27 feet from the front edge of each board.
Each regulation-sized board should be 2ft x 4ft and made from 0.5in thick smooth plywood. It should also be free of blemishes that might interfere with the game. The board should have a circular hole in the middle that measures 6in in diameter and is centered 9in from the top of each side edge.
There should be two teams of two players, known as partners, playing at a time. Each team will have four bags, each of which is a different color. The teams will begin the game at opposite ends of the board, with the player or team who scored in the previous frame pitching first in the next frame.
The official cornhole bags for adult and junior play are made from two 6.3in by 6.3in fabric squares that are sewn together with a double stitched seam. They are filled with either plastic pellets or corn feed and must weigh between 14-16.3 ounces when empty and 1in thick when lying flat.
