  • Cornholes – A bag thrown through the hole in the board. A bag can be pushed in by other bags from either player.
  • Cornhole = 3 points.
  • Woody or Boarder – A bag that is not in-the-hole but lands with any portion resting on the board.
  • Woody or Boarder = 1 point.
  • If the bag touches the ground before hitting the board or lands hanging off the board while also touching the ground it is called a “Dirty” and score 0 points Any “Dirty” bags must be removed from play before the next bag is tossed.
  • Stanker or Foul Bag – Any toss that is not a Cornhole or a Woody.
  • Stanker or Foul Bag = 0 points.
  • Bags knocked into foul territory by a foul bag should be returned as closely as possible to their original position. This also applies to bags that are knocked into the hole by a foul bag.

Scoring:

Scoring for the Kitsap Cornhole Classic will be CANCELLATION scoring. 

In cancellation scoring, the points of one player cancel out the points of their opponent. Using this method, only one player/team can score in each frame. For example- After all bags have been thrown, Team A lands 7 points and Team B lands 4 points, Team A will be scored 3 points (4 points from Team B cancel out 4 points from Team A)

Winner:

Play will continue until one team reaches 21 points. The game cannot end in the middle of the inning though, so the winner might exceed 21 points. If both teams have reached an excess of 21 points in the same inning the team with the most points at the end of that inning is declared the winner. If they are both tied at the end of the final inning, an additional frame will be played until some takes the lead over 21.
