One player on each side, of the same board.
Doubles:
Two players per team, with each team taking turns throwing from one board. Teammates must be on opposite boards, facing each other.

Tipsy Kornhole Rules
Turn Order:
Players take turns tossing bags, from one side, with each player throwing all four bags, before the other player/team, on the other board, throw theirs.
Note: The player or team that won the previous round shall throw the first bag in the next round.
Throwing:
Tosses must be made from anywhere inside the 36 inches by 48 inches imaginary rectangle next to the board.
Scoring A Round (Cancellation Scoring):
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 the round.

Note: At the end of the game, in singles, loser drinks the king's cup. In doubles, teammates share the king's cup.
Additional Rules
Rule Determination:
When a bag lands in between two different board rule sections, the board rule with the majority of the bag's area is picked. If a bag's area equally shares two bag rule sections, then the thrower determines which rule is picked.
Bag Validity:
Bags that fall off the board, do not land on the board, do not land in hole, or bumped off the board are not counted.
