ACA
Official Rules
These are the official rules and regulations of the American
Cornhole Association (ACA). The rules and regulations have been
developed and ratified by a majority of ACA members for ACA sanctioned
tournament play. The rules are not a mandate, but rather a guideline
to promote consistent and standard Cornhole / Corn Toss play
around the country. It is the responsibility of each ACA member
to strive to meet these rules and regulations in all ACA sanctioned
tournaments.
OFFICIAL RULES OF CORNHOLE / CORN TOSS
Published By The AMERICAN CORNHOLE ASSOCIATION (ACA)
(Last Revision July 13, 2009)
RULE 1 - COURT LAYOUT
Section A. Dimensions - A Cornhole / Corn Toss court shall be
a level rectangular area 10 ft wide and a minimum of 45 ft long.
The court should consist of two corn platforms, designated pitchers
boxes and foul lines. A north-south setting is recommended for
outdoor courts to minimize the effects of the sun.
Section B. Pitcher's Box - The pitcher's box is the rectangle
4 ft by 3 ft at each end of the court, parallel and on both sides
of Cornhole platforms. Each contestant must remain in the pitchers
box while pitching the corn bag.
Section C. Multiple Courts - To eliminate distraction and safely
separate activity, Cornhole / Corn Toss courts adjacent to each
other shall be a minimum of 10 feet apart. A greater distance
(at least 12 feet) is preferable.
Section D. Foul Lines – There are two sets of foul lines:
(1) open adult play and (2) junior play. The open adult play
foul lines shall be defined as an imaginary line 30 ft. from
the beginning of the hole in the opposite Cornhole platform.
For Cornhole / Corn Toss sets that meet ACA specifications, this
foul line will be parallel to the front of the cornhole platform.
The junior play foul lines shall be defined as an imaginary line
21 ft. from the beginning of the hole in the opposite cornhole
platform. See the diagram below.
Section E. Covered Or Indoor Courts - The regulations for covered
and indoor Cornhole / Corn Toss courts are exactly the same with
the additional stipulation that they shall have a minimum 12
foot vertical clearance to the lowest possible obstruction.
RULE 2 - PLAYING EQUIPMENT - CORNHOLE PLATFORMS AND BAGS
Section A. Equipment Standards - The ACA has adopted the following
equipment specifications and standards for Cornhole / Corn Toss:
1. Each Cornhole platform shall be a 48" x
24" rectangle made of wood.
2. The hole in the Cornhole platform shall be six inches in diameter
and be centered nine inches from the top and 12 inches from each
side of the Cornhole platform edges.
3. The front of the Cornhole platform shall be from 2-1/2” inches
to 4 inches from bottom to top and be at near a 90-degree angle
to the deck face.
4. The back of the Cornhole platform shall be 12 inches from
ground to the highest point of the deck at a 90-degree angle
to the deck face.
5. The cornhole platform should have solid wood sides with the
only opening to the underside of the cornhole platform being
through the hole in the cornhole platform. Although portable
fold-down platforms are acceptable (with open sides), platforms
with solid wooden sides are preferred for ACA sanctioned tournament
play as it is sometimes difficult (especially late in the day)
to determine if a corn bag was pitched into the hole or came
to rest under the cornhole platform by being pitched through
the open sides in a cornhole platform.
6. The Cornhole / Corn Toss play surface shall be finish sanded
to a very smooth texture and there shall not be any blemishes
in the wood surface that might disrupt or distort play.
7. The Cornhole / Corn Toss play surface shall be painted with
a high gloss latex paint resulting in a surface that allows corn
bags to slide but is not so slippery that it allows the bags
to slide back down the platform. The preferable color is white,
but any easy to see color is acceptable for tournament play.
8. The corn bags shall be made from two fabric squares with a
quarter inch double stitched seam on all four sides. The corn
bags should be made from 12 oz / sq yd duck canvas and may be
any color that is easy to see during Cornhole play. Each bag
shall be filled with approximately 2 cups of corn feed and finished
bags should be a minimum of 6" X 6" square and weigh
between 14 and 16 ounces.
RULE 3 - PITCHING DISTANCES
Section A. Adults - All open adult contestants shall pitch from
the pitcher’s box behind the 30 foot foul lines. Physically
impaired adults or seniors may, if agreed by all contestants,
observe the 21 foot foul lines.
RULE 4 - PLAY OF THE GAME
Section A. Doubles Play - In doubles play two contestants are
partners against another team of two contestants; one member
of each team pitches from one cornhole platform and the other
members pitch from the other cornhole platform.
Section B. Innings - Every Cornhole / Corn Toss match is broken
down into innings of play. During each inning of play each contestant
must pitch all four corn bags.
Section C. Value Of The Corn Bag -
1. Corn Bag In-The-Hole - A corn bag in-the-hole (or Hole-In)
is a corn bag which is thrown through the hole in the cornhole
platform or otherwise comes to rest inside the cornhole platform
(knocked in by another player or an act of God). A corn bag in-the-hole
has a value of three points.
2. Corn Bag In-The-Count - A corn bag that is not in-the-hole
but lands with any portion of the corn bag resting on the cornhole
platform is in-the-count. A corn bag in-the-count has a value
of one point. For a corn bag to be in-the-count, it must not
touch the ground or any other portion of the court prior to coming
to rest on the cornhole platform. If a corn bag touches the ground
before coming to rest on the cornhole platform, it is a foul
and must be removed from the cornhole platform prior to the continuation
of play.
3. Corn Bag Out-Of-The-Count - A corn bag which comes to rest
anywhere except in-the-count or in-the-hole is out-of-the-count
and has no scoring value. A corn bag which is declared to be
a foul is considered to be out-of-the-count (no matter where
it comes to rest) and must be removed from the cornhole surface
prior to the continuation of play.
Section D. Delivery Of Corn Bags -
1. In doubles play, the first side of contestants alternate pitching
corn bags until they have thrown all four corn bags, then the
remaining contestant (pitching from the other cornhole platform)
continue to alternate in the same manner until all four corn
bags are delivered and the inning completed. Delivery in singles
play is handled in the same manner (but from the same platform)
with each of the two contestants alternating their pitching of
corn bags until all four corn bags have been pitched completing
the inning.
2. A contestant may deliver the corn bag from either the left
or right pitchers box (see above) but, in any one inning, all
corn bags must be delivered from the same pitcher’s box.
A contestant shall pitch the entire tournament with the same
hand or arm, except in the case of a medical emergency.
3. Each individual contestant shall deliver the corn bag within
20 seconds. The time shall start when the contestant steps onto
the pitcher’s box with the intention of pitching.
Section E. Pitching Rotation During The Game - The contestant
who scored in the preceding inning shall pitch first in the next
inning. If neither pitcher scores, the contestant who pitched
second (last) in the preceding inning shall pitch first in the
next inning.
Section F. Position Of Contestants During Delivery -
The pitcher must maintain constant contact with the designated
pitcher’s box (See diagram above) during the entire address
and release of the corn bag.
Section G. Foul Corn Bags - A foul corn bag is a corn bag which
was delivered in non-compliance with one of the rules of the
game. It scores as a corn bag out of the count and is to be removed
from the Cornhole / Corn Toss court before any more corn bags
are pitched. Corn bags already in the court that have been knocked
into foul territory by a foul corn bag should be returned to
the scoring area. Additionally, corn bags that are in the count,
but are knocked into the hole by a foul corn bag must be returned
to their original scoring position.
1. The following are rule violations that must be spotted and
called by an contestant or assigned judge. The penalty is to
declare the corn bag a foul corn bag, which requires the corn
bags to be removed from the court prior to resuming play.
(a) Any corn bag pitched when the contestant has made contact
with or crossed over the foul line before the corn bag is released.
(b) Except as provided above, any corn bag pitched when the contestant
has started or stepped completely outside the pitching box before
releasing the corn bag.
(c) Any corn bag not delivered within the twenty second time
limit.
(d) A corn bag pitched from a different pitchers box than the
first corn bag.
(e) Any corn bag that contacted the court or the ground before
coming to rest on the cornhole platform.
(f) Any corn bag which struck a previously defined object such
as a tree limb, wire, indoor court ceiling, etc.
(g) Any corn bag that leaves a contestant's hand once the final
forward swing of the delivery process has started shall count
as a pitched corn bag. A corn bag that is accidentally dropped
by a contestant before the final forward swing has started shall
not be considered foul and may be picked up and pitched.
2. A contestant's corn bags shall be called foul if the contestant
removes any corn bag before the scoring of that corn bag has
been agreed upon. A judge shall be called if a decision cannot
be reached. The judge shall determine the scoring for the inning.
Section H. Protests - If a contestant desires to make a protest,
the protest shall be made to the judge or tournament official
at the time the problem occurs. The tournament judge shall make
the final ruling on all protests.
RULE 6 - LENGTH OF THE GAME
Section A. Point Limits - The Cornhole / Corn Toss match shall
be played until the first team of contestants reaches (or exceeds)
21 points at the completion of an inning. The winning team does
not need to win by two or more points.
Section B. The Inning Must Be finished - The Cornhole / Corn
Toss match can never end in the middle of an inning. Thus, if
a team that pitches first reaches or exceeds 21 points, the game
can not end until the other side is allowed to pitch all of their
corn bags and the inning is completed.
Section C. Ties At The End Of An Inning – If the Cornhole
/ Corn Toss match is tied at 21 or more at the end of an inning,
play continues until one team or the other achieves a higher
score at the end of an inning and wins the match.
RULE 7 – SCORING
Section A. Cancellation Scoring - In cancellation scoring, corn
bags in-the-hole and corn bags in-the-count pitched by opponents
during an inning or half of an inning in doubles play cancel
each other out. Only non cancelled corn bags are counted in the
score for the inning.
1. Corn Bags In-The-Hole – Hole-ins (HI’s) cancel
each other. A corn bag in-the-hole of one contestant shall cancel
a corn bag in-the-hole of his competitor and those corn bags
shall not score any points. Any non cancelled corn bag in-the-hole
scores three points.
2. Corn Bags In-The-Count – Corn bags in-the-count cancel
each other. A corn bag in-the-count of one contestant shall cancel
a corn bags in-the-count of the opponent and those corn bags
shall not score any points. Any non cancelled corn bags in-the-count
score one point each.
Section B. Score Calculation - Cancellation scoring may be easily
calculated as follows:
1. The points of both contestants are calculated for hole-ins
and in-the-count corn bags.
2. The points of the lowest scoring contestant for hole-in corn
bags are subtracted from the points of the highest scoring contestant
for hole-in corn bags. The result is the hole-in score for the
highest scoring contestant. The hole-in score for the lowest
scoring contestant is zero.
3. The points of the lowest scoring contestant for in-the-count
corn bags are subtracted from the points of the highest scoring
contestant for in-the-count corn bags. The result is the in-the-count
score for the highest scoring contestant. The in-the-count score
for the lowest scoring contestant is zero.
3. The hole-in score for each contestant is added to the in-the-count
score for each contestant to derive the recorded score for the
inning.
4. In this manner hole-in and in-the–count corn bags from
each contestant or team of contestants are cancelled out and
only non cancelled corn bags are counted in the score.
RULE 8 - APPROPRIATE CONDUCT
Section A. On The Courts - While in competition players, shall
make no disturbing noises or movements that would distract the
opponent or competitors on adjacent courts. The first offense
shall call for a warning from the judge or tournament official.
A second offense shall call for a forfeiture of the game being
played. Any further offenses shall call for a forfeiture of all
games. |
