Father's Day Bags Tournament
SUNDAY JUNE 21, 2026
Registration is now open
Sign up at
Phone: 815.883.3389
Email: events.oglesbyil.gov
RULES & INFORMATION
Oglesby Pool Grounds
Check in time: 3:00PM
Bags (or Cornhole) is a popular lawn game where players take turns tossing bean bags at an angled platform, aiming for the hole or landing on the board. The game is typically played to exactly or first to 21 points using a "cancellation scoring" method.
Game Setup
-
Board Distance: 27 feet apart from front edge
-
Players: BYOP ~ Bring Your Own Partner
Pitching Rules
-
Underhand Toss: All bags must be thrown underhand.
-
Alternating Throws: Players alternate tossing one bag at a time until all 4 bags have been thrown by both players.
Scoring
-
Bag In-The-Hole: A bag that goes through the hole is worth 3 points.
-
Bag On-The-Board: A bag that lands and remains on the board is worth 1 point.
​
-
Foul Bags: Bags that touch the ground before hitting the board do not count. If it hits the ground first and bounces onto the board, it is removed immediately.
-
Cancellation Scoring: Points cancel each other out at the end of every inning. For example, if Team A scores 5 points in a round and Team B scores 3 points, Team A is awarded 2 points (the net difference) for that round. Only one team can score points per round.
Winning the Game
-
The Standard Win: The first team to reach or exceed 21 points at the conclusion of an inning wins the game.
