Intramural Game Rules
Competition
Cornhole is a Tier 4 event; all students may participate. Players are responsible for reviewing the schedule and reporting to play. The overall time commitment will be minimal. Events may require unique athletic skills.
Roster
The desired roster size is two players, called partners. Each team should designate a captain. No more than six players per company may participate.
Challenge Tournaments
Per the published schedule, players report to the Deas Hall Gymnasium. Players are randomly assigned to a tournament bracket or round-robin and play until they are eliminated or win the bracket or pool. Players must play in at least two Challenge Tournaments to be eligible to advance to the Regimental Tournament. Players will be ranked by their win-loss record. Ties are broken by points scored (most) and then points scored against (least).
Rules
A coin flip determines which cornhole team has honors in round one.
The first pair of opponents alternate pitching corn bags from opposite cornhole platforms until they have thrown all bags, then their partners continue to alternate in the same manner until all bags are pitched.
Players may deliver the corn bag from either the left or right of the cornhole platform but must stand behind the front of the platform when pitching.
The winner is the team who wins two out of three games. Games are played to 15 points.
| Corn Bag | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| goes in the hole | 3 |
| hangs in the hole | 1 |
| lands on the board | 1 |
| hangs off the board edge but does not touch the ground | 1 |
| hangs off the board edge and touches the ground or another bag | 0 |
Points cancel out for corn bags pitched in the same position by opposing teams.
The mercy rule is in effect: if one team scores 10 points while the other has yet to score, the game is called.
