The Format

The tournament will be based on a randomly created bracket of all registered teams. Placement within the bracket (and allocation of first round byes if necessary) will be chosen at random. There will be no divisions within the bracket based on skill level, etc.

Matches will take a best 2 out of 3 games format. Each game will be played up to 21 points - The first team to 21 points straight-up wins the game. There will be NO requirement to win by 2 or land on exactly 21 points to win.

Rules

1.	Regulation sized boards are placed 25’ apart from each other (from front of board)
2.	Play consists of two teams of two with one player from each team standing on opposite ends
3.	Each team has 4 bags of one color and all 8 bags begin at one end
4.	To start, one player from each team tosses 1 bag - The team closest to the hole has “honors” and goes first
5.	A player from the team with honors tosses the first bag from anywhere behind the front of the board
6.	Play continues by alternating tosses between the 2 opponent players until all 8 bags have been tossed
7.	The winning team of each round tosses first in the next round

Scoring
1.	A bag that lands on the board, a “cow pie” is worth 1 point
2.	A bag in the hole, a “cornhole”, is worth 3 points
3.	Points cancel out (e.x. If team one has 3 bags on the board and team two has 2 bags on the board, then team one nets 1 point)
4.	The winning team of each round tosses first in the next round
5.	Any bags touching the ground or that hit the ground and bounce/roll onto the board don’t count and should be removed from the board before the next toss
6.	The first team to 21 or more points wins
7.	11-0 is a “skunk”
