OVERVIEW OF CORNHOLE
Cornhole is a classic outdoor game that is featured at any outdoor get-together including back yard barbeques to wedding receptions. It is perfect for any age group, from young kids to adults. Simply throw bean bags at the cornhole board, and get them in the hole, or as close to the hole as possible. The more points you score, the more likely you are to win!

SETUP
To setup the game, simply place the cornhole board directly across from each other, with the holes being farthest apart. Choose the teams that the players will be on and collect the bean bags. An equal number of players from each team will be placed at each cornhole board. For example, two players from team A and two players from team B will be at the same board. The game is then ready to begin.
GAMEPLAY
To play the game, one player from each team will step up to their board. The players should never step past their own cornhole board when throwing their bean bags. The two players will take turns throwing their bean bags at the board that is furthest from them. Once they have thrown all of their bags, points will be counted.
Point values are dependent on the players. The most typical point values is one point for every bean bag on the board and two points for every bean bag that makes it in the hole. The next players at the other board will then step forward and play.

END OF GAME
The game comes to an end when the players reach their desired number of points. Some players will choose to play until 21, whereas some other players will choose to play for more points. The first team to get to the set number of points and be at least three points ahead wins the game.
If they are not three points ahead, then the game continues until there is a three point gap.
