Often I find when I¿m tailgating or at a party and playing the game of cornhole, people have many different questions about how to play this game. From learning the rules to actually throwing the bags, people are always looking for help and information on how to play. Here are a few more of the common questions people ask about cornhole game bags. Hopefully they will answer some of your cornhole game bag questions.
Q. Do cornhole game bags come in different colors?
A. Absolutely. Cornhole game bags can come in many different colors and even can be customizable with a team logo or initials. You will mostly see blue and red bags during tournaments as they are easily distinguishable, but you can find whichever color or design that means your preference.
Q. What is a regulation cornhole game bag?
A. The specifications of a bean bag have been established by the AAC on the exact size. Each cornhole bag should be made of a duck canvas as that is a very durable fabric and allow the bag to be used multiple times. The bags should measure 6 inches by 6 inches and be filled with 14-16 ounces of kernel corn.
So when shopping around for cornhole game bags, try to find out from the seller some of the more basic questions that should be mandatory.
Q. Are the cornhole game bags made of 12oz duck cloth?
This is a valid questions as there are different variants in duck cloth. Some will provide 8oz, 10oz, or 12oz cloth. All cornhole game bags should be made of at least 12oz to give that durability you need when playing in grass, concrete, dirt, etc. Other weights simply won¿t hold up to the beating bags can take.
Q. Do the bags weight 14 to 16 ounces?
This is another valid question as regulations state each bag should roughly weigh a pound. When a bag weighs more or less, it can throw off the consistency of the game as you will never get a good rhythm for throwing.
Q. Are the cornhole game bags filed with real whole kernel corn?
Once again regulation calls for whole kernel corn in each cornhole bean bag as the dust produced every time the bags hit the boards provide a nice coating for continuous play. There are alternatives such as plastic pellets and popcorn, but unfortunately they aren¿t ACA regulation.
If you are looking to get custom cornhole game bags, they won't be considered regulation as they won't be made out of duck cloth. You may enjoy the bean bags, but custom cornhole bags due tend to tear much more easily. Expect a little inconsistent play as the bags break down quicker. You can always find information online on how to toss bags and even make your own cornhole game bags. Don't settle for below average and look for sellers who offer ACA regulations bean bags. There are many out there and you will be happy you decided to go with a more durable bag.
