1st Ever Cornhole Tournament

1st Ever CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT
Phoenix, AZ.
An American Cornhole Association sanctioned event

What is Cornhole? It has been called many things: Corn Toss, Bean Bag, Bean Toss, Soft Horseshoes, Indiana Horseshoes, but to many of us born in the Midwest, the game is passionately referred to as cornhole. The game is great fun for all ages and can be played anywhere! Cornhole or Corn Toss is similar to horseshoes except you use wooden boxes called cornhole platforms and corn bags instead of horseshoes and metal stakes. Contestants take turns pitching their corn bags at the cornhole platform until a contestant reaches the score of 21 points. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. If any bag is touching the ground in any way it does not count.Where: Phoenix, Arizona at Deer Valley Park.
