Cornhole Scoring
Keep the old, but bring in the new.
Traditionally, the game pits two competing teams of two or four people playing against each other with the winner being the first team to score 21 points. Scoring is subtractive. Meaning, points cancel each other out during play. If team one totals 9 points in a toss, while team two totals 8 points in the same toss, team one scores 1 total point for that turn.
This is a fun, easy way to score the game. However, we've found it difficult to use this traditional scoring method during league and tournament play. One issue is that it doesn't allow for easy time management of play. Another problem is a handful of people continually win the same leagues and tournaments. We've seen interest in tournaments begin to dwindle because of this. We at the ACO have a solution: handicapping the game using our new scoring system, called the "AC Frame Game."
Here's how it works:
In the next few months we will be developing online tools that will help any institution, establishment or group run a league easily through our web-based system. If you are interested in learning more about the cost and details of signing up for American Cornhole leagues, please contact us via e-mail at: sales@americancornhole.org
The ACO Nationals will be implementing this new scoring system for it's tournaments and will be posting more information in the near future. Stay tuned......

Here's how it works:
- You do not subtract your points, but instead keep a running total or cumulative score.
- You keep track of total points scored by each player every frame.
- You play 13 frames - highest score wins (a perfect game is a score of 156 or making 52 of 52 cornholes in a row)
