Not familiar with a Corn Toss Tournament?  See the rules below.  It's easy and fun!

CORN TOSS TOURNAMENT

The Corn Toss Tournament is free fun for those 12 years or older.

• It is a single-elimination tournament.
• Individuals are welcome; you'll be placed randomly with a partner.
• The first 32 people get to join the fun!

Corn Toss Tournament Rules

Two contestants are partners against another team of two contestants.

One member of each team throws from each platform.
 

How to Play

1. Contestants alternate pitching corn bags from 1 side until they have thrown all 8 bags (four corn bags each player):
   • Corn bag in-the-hole – Three points.
   • Corn bag on-the-board - One point (a bag can be knocked off the board and no longer counts).
      
2. After all bags are thrown, score from each player are subtracted – only 1 team scores each round (if each player throws the same points they cancel each other out).
    
3. Team that scored last is first to throw for the next round.
    
4. Play continues and scores added after each round of throwing.
    
5. If a corn bag touches the ground before coming to rest on the platform, it is a foul and must be removed from the platform before play continues.

Length Of The Game

Preliminary rounds will be played for 10 minutes.  The team with the highest score continues in the competition.  Final game is played until 1 team reaches a score of 21.

Most Important Rule: Have Fun!
