PLAY AND SCORING
The tournament will be broken into two playing sessions – 1.) “Round-Robin” format and those results will be used to build and seed the 2.) “Championship Bracket”

We are Gold Beach - Together we can build tomorrow

GOLD BEACH CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT

These will be single-elimination matches, first team to 21 (time restriction will not apply)
At the beginning of each match, the higher seed chooses their bag color and one of the following options: which lane they prefer OR the head-to-head matchup. The lower seed will have the choice to determine what the winner does not (lanes or head-to-head).

At the beginning of each match a coin-toss will take place - the winner will toss first, choose their bag color and have the option to either select which lane they prefer OR select the head-to-head matchup. The losing team of the coin-toss will have the choice to determine what the winner does not (lanes or head-to-head)
Round-Robin play, unlike the Championship Bracket, matches will be allowed 20-minutes to be completed to ensure timely flow of the tournament. Should a team not reach 21 points, the match will still be counted and recorded. Either way, your point total - not your wins or losses - will count toward your team’s standing and seeding when the Championship Bracket is built.
Teams that were randomly assigned to a Round-Robin group with less teams will be adjusted using their average points per Round-Robin match as an equalizer
The top four teams from each Round-Robin group advance. *Should teams be tied – first tie-break is win/loss record, second is average win/loss margin, and third is a coin-toss.

Only players allowed to compete will be those registered and confirmed with identification at check-in
Players must be at least 16 years of age
Number of teams are determined by the amount of entries

Each bag on the board = 1 point
Each bag in the board = 3 points
Any bags touching the ground or “bounced” onto the board do not count and are to be removed prior to the next bag being thrown by the opposing team
Cancellation Scoring: only one team may score per round. Total points for each team are calculated using only those points that were not canceled out. For example: Team 1 throws a bag in the hole and the others land on the board for a total of (6) points. Team 2 throws a bag in the hole and two bags land on the board for a total of (5) points. The result is Team 1 receives (1) point for that round.
The first team to reach or exceed (21) points will win the match
A tie will require extra tosses until a winner is decided
In the event of a disagreement, GBYF officials will make the final decision by referring to ACO regulations
All cornhole boards and cornhole bags will be provided by GBYF – no personal bags or equipment are permitted
Cornhole boards will be positioned 27’ from front edge to front edge
