at the opposite cornhole box with an under-hand release.

are throwing from. The pitcher must be within the pitcher’s box or behind the foul line

at the time of release.

7. Game continues by alternating throws between the two opponent players until all

8 cornhole bags have been thrown.

not be scored and the bag will be removed from the board.

their first cornhole bag.
