Cornhole
Men, women, boys and girls play in separate categories.
The game is played one-on-one. The game board is placed at a distance of 8 m (in the children's game - 4.50 m). Each player throws 4 bags and tries to make it into a hole in the board. If the bag falls into the hole, the player gets 3 points. If the bag remains on the board - one point is awarded. The score of a round is obtained by counting the difference between your score and your opponent's score (e.g. score 3:1, so the winner gets 2 points). Players switch sides, the winner starts the next round. The first player to score 21 points wins (15 points in the children's game).
