How cornhole scoring works
Most backyard and league games use cancellation scoring:
- A bag that lands and stays on the board is worth 1 point.
- A bag that goes through the hole is worth 3 points.
- At the end of each round (often called an inning), the teams' points cancel out. Only the team with more points scores, and only the difference. If one team has 5 and the other has 3, the first team gets 2 points.
- The first team to reach 21 wins. House rules vary, so agree on yours before the first toss.
With cancellation scoring, figure out each round's difference first, then add it to the winning team.
