Team Cornhole Rules (4+ Players Per Team)

1. Teams & Rosters

• Each team must have a minimum of 4 players on the roster.

• Only 2 players per team may be actively throwing in a given frame, but substitutions are allowed at any time between frames during league play.

• If all rostered players are present, each player must throw at least once during the match.

• All players must be registered in the league to participate.

• League Play: Subs are allowed for $10 per game.

• Tournament Play: No subs allowed — only registered roster players may compete.

2. Equipment

• Teams must use the official cornhole bags provided by the league.

• No outside bags are allowed.

3. Substitution Rules (League Play Only)

• Teams may rotate players in and out freely between frames.

• A sub may enter before any throw within a frame, but once a player begins their 4 throws, they must finish that frame.

• No player may throw more than two consecutive frames without a substitution, unless the team has fewer than 4 players available.

• Tournament matches must be played with the roster only — no subs.

4. Match Format

• Matches are played as best 2 out of 3 games.

• Each game is played to 21 points.

• The game ends immediately when a team reaches 21 points or more — cancellation scoring, and no need to land on exactly 21.

5. Gameplay

• Standard cornhole setup: boards 27 feet apart, each player gets 4 bags per frame.

• Teams alternate throws, one bag at a time.

• Scoring:

  • 3 points = bag in the hole.

  • 1 point = bag on the board.

  • First team to reach or exceed 21 points wins.

• Score Confirmation Rule: After each completed frame, both teams must agree on the score before starting the next frame. If there’s a dispute, play pauses until resolved.

6. Player Rotation Example

• Frame 1: Player A & B throw.

• Frame 2: Player C subs in for Player A.

• Frame 3: Player D subs in for Player B.

• Frame 4: Back to A & C, etc.

This rotation keeps all 4+ players involved but allows flexibility if a team has a “hot hand.”

7. Sportsmanship & Timing

• Players have 15 seconds to throw once they step onto the board area.

• Substitutions should be announced before the start of a frame (league play only).

• Games typically last 15–25 minutes each, so a full match (best of 3) will run about 40–60 minutes.

Would you like me to now put this into a clean, one-page handout (with headers, bullets, and maybe bold highlights for “No subs in tournament” so teams don’t miss it)?
