What is cornhole?

For those of you wondering (and who have asked), here is a quick explanation of cornhole... I have also provided a drawing for you :)


The game consist of two slanted boards, each with a hole carved out near the top, the boards are laid something like 28ft across from each other. There are two teams, two players on each team. One team member stands at each board. Each team has 4 bean bags. The two players standing at the same board take turns throwing their colored bean bags to the board across from them. After they have tossed all their bags, the other two players at the other board collect the bean bags and toss them back over to the other board. If your bag lands on the board you get 1 point, if you get the bag in the hole you get 3 points. The goal of the game is to be the first team to reach 21 points (or how we play in the league, the team who scores the most points out of 8 rounds). However, if each team gets a bean bag on the board, they cancel each other out. Same goes for getting the bean bag in the hole. It's pretty fun but can also be extremely frustrating when you aren't playing well. My team is 50/50 right now and the league championships are next weekend. It was a fun thing to do every Thursday night throughout the winter...
