Tipsy Kornhole Objective
-
Easy Mode: First team to reach 21 points or above.
Medium Mode: First team to reach exactly 21 points, if points exceed, go back to the points from the previous round.
Hard Mode: First team to reach exactly 21 points, if points exceed, go back to 15 points.
Losing team shares the king's cup at the end of the game.
Scoring
-
On the Board (But Not in the Hole): 1 point
In the Hole: 3 points
Only one team can score per round, and points are calculated by subtracting the losing team’s points from the winning team’s points for that round (this is called "cancellation scoring").
Teams
-
Singles: One player on each side.
Doubles: Two players per team, with each team taking turns throwing from one board.
Equipment
-
Boards: Two cornhole boards, each measuring 24 inches by 48 inches, with a hole that is 6 inches in diameter, located 9 inches from the back of the board.
Bags: Eight bags, four of one color and four of another, each measuring 6 inches by 6 inches and weighing between 14 and 16 ounces.
Setup
-
Place the boards 27 feet apart from the front edges. Adjust this distance if playing in a non-standard setup or for different skill levels.
Game Play
-
Turns: Players take turns tossing bags, from one side, with each player throwing all four bags before the other player/team throws theirs.
Throwing: Tosses must be made from behind the front edge of the board.
Scoring a Round: At the end of each round, add up the points for each team. The team with the most points earns the difference between their score and their opponent's score for that round.

J: Make a Rule - Create a new rule (e.g., everyone must speak in an accent). Anyone who breaks the rule drinks. Rules can’t be targeted towards certain players (e.g., anyone wearing red drinks twice). Rules apply until the end of the game and can also be canceled.

Additional Rules
-
Cancellation Scoring: If a bag lands on the board and another bag from the opposing team lands in the hole, only the bags that are on the board score points. The points for bags in the hole are counted for the team with more bags in the hole.
Bag Validity: Bags that fall off the board or do not land on the board are not counted.
