I dont know how many of you guys play or have any idea what it is yet, I know it is taking off like crazy, but I design and build custom sets, all drawn and hand painted to what ya want if anyone wants info on specs or how I build them let me know. I also sell them, and would ship if need be, but just figured I would throw up the last set to see what ya guys thought.... They are crappy cell phone pics and well I am a huge Cincinnati Bengals fan so well...these are tailgating dreams lol
I have been seeing these posted up all over Craigs List lately. I think I know what they are, but please, enlighten us all, just to be sure. edit...... K, lot like horseshoes
Thanx Blackfoot, I wonderd the same thing. In my day that was called "been bag toss", played it in elementary school and hav'nt even thought about till now....and now it's called "cornhole" I think I'll stick with the old name, sounds more familly friendly
This was really popular when I was at Western IL U, from '04 till '08. College kids seemed to really love the "sport". It was simply coined the name "bags" or "bago". Most of the paintings on the board was Cubs/White Socks, or Bears/Packers.
HAHA so as I am reading the post there is a link for cornhole sets at the bottom on the forum page....AWESOME! Anywho, Very easy the boards are set up 30 feet from each other, 2 on 2 teams, 2 people at each end, one from both teams, 4 bags each...rotate throws and AIM for the hole, 1 point for on the board, 3 for in the hole, game is played to 21, points cancel each other out..... Similar to horseshoes.... It is a blast and pretty much anyone can play the thing, some people are really good others....not so much. In the summer I play in leagues and tournaments every week, it is a blast!
My brother made all of us a set for Christmas last year. It is becoming very popular, but I refuse to call it cornhole. Bean bag toss will be my name for it. Always was, always will be. Where in the world did they come up with the other name? Gross.
Hahaha....corn in the bags, hole on the board....cornhole..... That was the only name I had every heard it called until I saw it being sold in stores called bag toss
I've seen some guys playing this at a cruise night... That was a bit odd. Wondering why they were saying cornhole, as I also refer to it by the name I remember it by from elementary school, been bag toss. Not a bad game, but not entertaining enough for me... Kinda like bowling... I don't mind it, and will do it occasionally, but I'll stick to restoring and driving/riding cars and bikes.
Yeah it sure is, I actully used to live in hamilton. I would say maybe like 15 to 18 miles from each other
