Cornhole
Cornhole is a competitive sport ranging from recreational backyard picnics, camping and tailgating opportunities to serious competitive tournaments held across the United States. The game involves players or teams that take turn throwing a fabric bean bag at a raised, angled board with a hole in its far end. There are several variations, but the goal is to score points by either landing the bean bag on the board (1 point) or landing the bag through the hole (3 points). The player scoring the most points deducts the number of points of the other players’ score for that round and the play continues. (Example: Player one gets 4 pts, Player 2 gets 1 point. Player one wins the round and receives 3 points.) The play goes to 21, exactly. If a player goes over, they return to a score of 13 and the play continues. The boards are typically placed 27 feet apart. For the NVWG, This will be a team (doubles) event and limited to 75 players for Class II-IV and 75 players for Class IB-IC. The throwing distances for the competition will be (Class IB/IC - 12ft), (Class II/III - 16ft) and (Class IV/V from 20ft). Veterans must compete as a team and will throw at the appropriate distance corresponding to their individual Class. Veterans can select their own team as long as they are both signed up for Cornhole. Veterans without a partner will be paired up in New Orleans. We are excited to continue to offer the at HOME events as part of the National Veterans Wheelchair Games. The at HOME program expands Veteran engagement to those unable to travel to New Orleans and enables us to provide additional events that may not be feasible to do in New Orleans. We can’t wait to see the results and accomplishments on social media! Remember to use hashtag #NVWGatHome! Reminder: • For those events offered in New Orleans and at HOME, Veterans must choose the setting to compete and cannot do both. • Veterans will have from June 19- 30, 2024, to submit results. A link will be provided to submit scores. • Veterans must submit a full registration to compete in the at HOME events. Veterans not attending the NVWG in New Orleans will receive the 2024 memorabilia via mail. The at HOME Medal Ceremony will be held virtually the week of July 25, 2024.
