What is Cornhole?
It has been called many things, Corn Toss, Bean
Bag, Bean Toss, Soft Horseshoes, Indiana
Horseshoes, but to many of us born and raised
in Kentucky and the southern part of Ohio, the
game is passionately referred to as Cornhole.
It has been said that the game originated in
Germany in the 14th century, and then was
rediscovered in the hills of Kentucky over
100 years ago.
The truth is, who really knows, but the game is
great fun for all ages and can be played anywhere!
Cornhole or Corn Toss is similar to horseshoes
except you use wooden boxes called cornhole
platforms and corn bags instead of horseshoes
and metal stakes. Contestants take turns pitching
their corn bags at the cornhole platform until a
contestant reaches the score of 21 points. A corn
bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the
platform scores 1 point.
Scoring can be swift and the lead may change hands several times in a match before the winner is decided.
The game is generally played tournament style with an individual or team being named the champion at the end of the tournament.
