6. Score is taken and play continues in this manner.
1. Any cornhole bags that hit the ground before coming to rest on a board shall be cleared and will not count to be scored.
2. Points will awarded in the manner below:
Scoring is based on the location of the bolas at the end of each round. Each rung is a assigned a point value, and each bola's points are added to the tean's score.
Bottom Rung=1 point
Top Rung=2 points
Middle Rung=3 points
Play continues until a team scores twenty one, or more. If the round end in a tie that is over twenty one play until a team outscores the other.
The washer "pits" should be placed 25ft apart. Players flip a coin to determine who goes first. After the first round the player who scored last will go first in the next round. The players should stand even with the "cup" inside the pit. The player throw both of their washers before the next player throws theirs. Only one player can score per round.
"Cupper"(a washer in the cup)=5 points
A washer inside the box= 1 point
If both players have an equal amount of washers in the cup then no one scores. The same is true for washers in the box. The game ends after one player scores eleven points if the other player(s) have zero. This is called a skunk. If a skunk does not eliminate all of the other players then play continues until a player scores 17 points. If the other player has only 1 point the game is over. If not then play until one player scores 21 or more before the other player(s) have reached 20 points. If both teams are at 20 points, or more, then a team must win by 2 points.
