How to Play Corn Hole Bag-Out-of-the-Court
For an even more involved version of Corn Hole than In-the-Hole and In-the-Count, play Corn Bag Out-of-the-Count. This version of Corn Hole combines the scoring factors of the first two versions but makes scoring In-the-Count a little more challenging.

Set up your Corn Hole boards in the regulation distance of 27 feet apart (21 feet for juniors). Choose a flat, open space where participants can mingle and socialize. If this is a leisurely game, simply estimate the distance of the boards.

Choose to play either singles or doubles. For large groups, get more people involved at once with a doubles tournament.

Alternate throws the same way you would with a basic game of Corn Hole. Each player tosses four bags, alternating turns.

Score the tosses. A Hole-In is worth 3 points. A bag In-the-Count is worth 1 point.

Land your bag, or any portion of the bag, on the board with a clean toss. If the bag touches the ground first (skips, rolls or bounces), it is considered a foul and must be taken off the board before play continues. The bag is Out-of-the-Count and is worth 0 points.

Knock off your opponent's bags to reduce the awarded points. Not only does this give you sweet satisfaction, but it fuels your opponent and gets the crowd fired up.

Continue to play until the first player or team reaches 21 points. An exact score of 21 is not required.
