League rankings are
based on 2 primary factors. Your team's match
record and your team's total points determine
where you end up in the league rankings. A tie
in the standings (based on Matches W/L) is broken
by comparing the two team's overall points.
Points are calculated based on the number of points you score in each game. If you win by forfeit, your team receives the maximum of 21 points for that game.

Rules
Regulation sized boards are placed 25’ apart from each other (from front of board)
Play consists of two teams of two with one player from each team standing on opposite ends
Each team has 4 bags of one color and all 8 bags begin at one end
To start, one player from each team tosses 1 bag - The team closest to the hole has “honors” and goes first
A player from the team with honors tosses the first bag from anywhere behind the front of the board
Play continues by alternating tosses between the 2 opponent players until all 8 bags have been tossed
Scoring
A bag that lands on the board, a “cow pie” is worth 1 point
A bag in the hole, a “cornhole”, is worth 3 points
Points cancel out (e.x. If team one has 3 bags on the board and team two has 2 bags on the board, then team one nets 1 point)
The winning team of each round tosses first in the next round (If your league or tournament plays multiple game matches)
Any bags touching the ground or that hit the ground and bounce/roll onto the board don’t count and should be removed from the board before the next toss
The first team to 21 or more points wins (There is no win by 2 rule, or "land on 21 exactly" rule)
