While we will be using ACA board sizes and court distances, the tournament scoring system being used is the "Rally" system.
1) Every bag thrown that scores will count towards a teams total score.
2) First team to 21pts wins but teams must win by 2pts
3) If tied or within 1pt at 21pts (or over) play continues until a team is ahead by 2pts at the completion of a turn.
4) Each match will consist of a 3 game set.
5) The Championship match will be a 7 game set.
6) Each player must switch ends at the completion of each game (each game during the 3 game matches or 7 game Championship).
What is 'Bags', anyway?
The description below, in its entirety, was taken from Wikipedia.
Cornhole a.k.a "tailgate toss," "bean bag toss," "baggo," "dbags," or "bags" is a lawn game in which players take turns pitching cornhole bags—cotton duck bags filled with feed corn—at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. These platforms are usually made with plywood or occasionally plastic, and are often decorated. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a player reaches the score of 21.
Rules and Specifications
The UPCA Battle of the Bags will follow the American Cornhole Association board sizes specifications and court sizes. These, and a whole lot more, can be found at www.playcornhole.org/rules
