How to pick the right name

Corn or bags?

If your crowd calls the game bags, a bag pun like Bagstreet Boys lands instantly. Everywhere else, a corn pun like Ear Force One gets the bigger laugh.

Make it fit on a scoreboard

Tournament brackets and chalkboards have limited space. Two to four words is the sweet spot.

Name the pair, not just the player

Most games are doubles, so a partner name like Bonnie and Slide or Lefty and Righty tells everyone who is on the team.

Keep it picnic-friendly

Cornhole draws kids, grandparents and coworkers. Every name here is clean, so you never have to explain a joke at the family reunion.

Frequently asked questions

What are good cornhole team names?

Favorites include Ace in the Hole, Ear Force One, Bagstreet Boys, Shucks to Be You and The Blockheads. Puns on corn, bags or real cornhole terms get the quickest laugh.

Why is cornhole called bags?

In Chicago and much of the Midwest, people call the game bags after the beanbags you throw. It is the same game with the same boards and scoring.

How do you score in cornhole?

A bag in the hole is worth 3 points and a bag on the board is worth 1. With cancellation scoring, only the difference between the teams counts each round, and the first team to 21 wins.

How far apart are cornhole boards?

Regulation boards are 2 feet by 4 feet with a 6-inch hole, and their front edges sit 27 feet apart. Backyard games with kids often use a shorter distance.

What is an airmail in cornhole?

An airmail is a throw that drops straight into the hole without touching the board. Landing all four of your bags in the hole in one round is called a four-bagger.
