WHAT IS CORHOLE YOU SAY ?????

HERE’S THE SKINNY ON THE GAME OF CORNHOLE:
— It is essentially a bean bag toss towards a board, 33 feet away

— You get 4 bean bag tosses each turn

— Object is to accumulate points by throwng your bag into the hole, or landing it on the board

— The strategy is to also keep your opponent from scoring points

— The first team to score 21 points, wins

The following is a list of terms commonly used in cornhole.  (For the record, we at Food Adventures have been using words like “Dirty Rollup” and “Slippery Granny” for years under different circumstances).

• Ace or cow pie: A bag landing on the board, worth one point.
• Back door or Dirty Rollup: A cornhole bag that rolls over the top of a blocker and into the hole.
• Backstop: A bag that lands past the hole but remains on the board creating a backboard for a slider to knock into without going off the board.
• Blocker: A bag that lands in front of the hole, blocking the hole.
• Cornfusion: When players or teams cannot agree on the scoring
• Cornhole: A bag that falls in the hole, which is worth three points.
