There will be no 1"X8" cigar anywhere near my cornhole :!:

Anyway you guys already broke it the other day. It needs new bags.

There is just no way to talk about this without getting into trouble :wink:

Somebody moderate this :!:

I want to make something clear. This is Grimp's cornhole game:

Nope, from the ACA (Americal Cornhole Association) official site:
Section A. Equipment Standards - The ACA has adopted the following equipment specifications and standards for Cornhole / Corn Toss:

1. Each cornhole platform shall be a 48" x 24" rectangle made of half inch plywood. ACA sanctioned tournaments should only be played with wooden cornhole platforms as there is significant variance in play between wooden and plastic or other surfaces.

2. The hole in the cornhole platform shall be six inches in diameter and be centered nine inches from the top and 12 inches from each side of the cornhole platform edges.

3. The front of the cornhole platform shall be approximately 4 inches from bottom to top and be at near a 90-degree angle to the ground.

4. The back of the cornhole platform shall be approximately 12 inches from bottom to top and be at near a 90-degree angle to the ground.

5. The cornhole platform should have solid wood sides with the only opening to the underside of the cornhole platform being through the hole in the cornhole platform. Although portable fold-down platforms are acceptable (with open sides), platforms with solid wooden sides are preferred for ACA sanctioned tournament play as it is sometimes difficult (especially late in the day) to determine if a corn bag was pitched into the hole or came to rest under the cornhole platform by being pitched through the open sides in a cornhole platform.

6. The Cornhole / Corn Toss play surface shall be finish sanded to a very smooth texture and there shall not be any blemishes in the wood surface that might disrupt or distort play.

7. The Cornhole / Corn Toss play surface shall be painted with a high gloss latex paint resulting in a surface that allows corn bags to slide but is not so slippery that it allows the bags to slide back down the platform. The preferable color is white, but any easy to see color is acceptable for tournament play.

8. The corn bags shall be made from two fabric squares with a quarter inch double stitched seam on all four sides. The corn bags should be made from 12 oz / sq yd duck canvas and may be any color that is easy to see during Cornhole play. Each bag shall be filled with approximately 2 cups of corn feed and finished bags should be a minimum of 6" X 6" square and weigh between 14 and 16 ounces.

I ordered new bags for my game last night on EBay again.
Last time I got pwned by some guy in Ohio and lost about $40.
This is very typical of the behavior of Ohioans from what I have heard :wink:
This time I am trying someone from Kentucky, I hear they are more reliable and have better corn :D
PayPal and EBay were absolutely no help in getting the money back.
Guarantee, NOT!

Grimp, I told you I needed the $40 for GoldStar, Skyline and Graeters. I planted a fresh crop of corn. As soon as it ripens I'll send you the bags. Give me 6 months.

I've heard from other people that were less than pleased with EBay and PayPal's ability to resolve disputes.

We have the same game at our church that we have been playing for around 5 years now. The one we have was designed to use 1" washers instead of the corn bags.

The washers make it nice as if you hit it just right it can slide up or down into the hole or if its close and as the other washers hit it the board it can bounce the washer into the hole. You need to try it sometime as it seems more fun to me then with the corn bags.

As I suspected they would the new bags came yesterday and are things of beauty. Kentucky people ROCK :!: Not like Ohio, which is filled with cornhole gangsters :wink:
Ordered them Friday evening and they showed up Monday. Now I have to get my boards back from my nephew. Used them at his party Saturday and I left them there :roll:
