Yorkville Youth Tackle Football Cornhole Tournament (Double Elimination) 2026

#General Information ##Time: 11am – finish (registration & warm-up at 11am, games start at 12pm) Format: Double-elimination brackets Teams: 2-person teams (bring your own partner or we’ll pair you up) #Rules (American Cornhole Association) Be the first team to reach (or exceed) a score of 21 points at the end of an inning of play. The cornhole boards are placed 27 feet apart from front edge to front edge. Players pitch their bags in an underhand motion from the pitcher's box next to each side of the board. Players alternate turns tossing their cornhole bags toward the opposite board. After each team has pitched four bags, players take score, and resume pitching to the opposite board. The team who scored points in the previous inning goes first in the next inning. If it was tied, the team who went first in the last inning gets to go first again. #Pregame Coin Toss Prior to beginning the game, a coin toss will determine playing lanes and sequence of play. The team that wins the coin flip will choose either their throwing lane or the throwing order in the first inning of play. The team that did not win the coin flip chooses the remaining option. #Scoring A cornhole bag that goes in through the hole is worth 3 points. A cornhole bag that lands on the board and stays there is worth 1 point. A cornhole bag that lands on the ground or bounces onto the board is worth 0 points. #Cancellation Scoring Only one team can score points per inning. The team with the higher score cancels out the points of the opposing team in that inning. Points Calculation: The team with the higher score in an inning earns the difference in points. For instance, if Team A scores 5 points and Team B scores 2 points in an inning, Team A earns 3 points for that inning. #Winning the Game A The first team to reach or exceed 21 points at the conclusion of an inning is the winner. You must win by 2 points #Disqualification Purposely interfering with an opponent's pitching motion will disqualify a player and result in forfeiture of the game. Any act deemed excessively poor sportsmanship will disqualify a player and result in forfeiture of the game. #Prizes up for grabs: • 1st Place: Cash prize + ACA approved Synergy Pro Cornhole Bags (set of 4 per person) • 2nd Place: (2) S.O.B.
