without making the hanging bag fall to the ground, then one point is given.

6. If bags become piled inside the cornhole board hole and may interfere or obstruct with the next pitch, or if there is question whether a cornhole bag would have naturally fallen through the hole, a player may request to “rake” the cornhole bags that have fallen inside the hole.

7. Each team is given a frame score according to the point system

a. The team who wins the frame is awarded with the first throw in the next frame. In case of a tie, the game score

stays the same and the first throw goes to the team who had it the previous frame.

b. The winner of the match is the team who reaches 21 first or has the most points at the 40-minute time limit.

point.
