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:

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)

American Cornhole has been fine-tuning the new AC Frame Game scoring system for several months, working closely with players from around the Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio region. They have been working particularly closely with a bar in the Cincinnati market, Sneaky Pete’s in Milford, Ohio. Sneaky Pete’s will be starting it’s first league under the new scoring system in the next couple of weeks. The exciting thing about the new AC Frame Game is the possibility to now collect and track fun stats on players and develop handicaps for leagues so play will become more competitive for all.

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……

I like it! I hope the old method is still used from time to time.

I’m talking to you, South Carolina. You RTC’d after beating Kentucky both this season and in 2005. It’s supposed to be “Hats in the air! War’s over!” Not “I really want a picture next to John Wall!”

I’m talking to you, Illinois. You RTC’d when you beat No. 5 Michigan State this year. Even Illinois legend Dee Brown was cringing. He tweeted: “No no no no! … We are Illinois! Winning should be normal.”

Sorry, Dee. Illinois has a new motto: “We are Illinois! We really like to pregame!”

I’m definitely talking to you, Wake Forest. You RTC’d when you beat North Carolina last season. They were third in the nation. You were fourth. What’s going to make you storm the floor next? New nets?

This has got to stop. Therefore, here are the Ironclad and Unbreakable Rushing-the-Court Rules. From now on, you can NOT rush the court if …

• • You’ve won an NCAA title in the past 20 years.
• • You’ve been in the Final Four in the past five years.
• • The team you just beat is not in the top three.
• • Or is ranked within 15 rungs of you. (Somebody do the math for Wake.)
• • Or is really a football school. This includes Florida, Texas and Ohio State. Get over it.
• • You’ve beaten this same team in the past five years.
• • You won the stupid game by more than 10 points. There is no such thing as a PRTC (Premeditated Rush The Court.)
• • You’re a university and you just beat a college.
• • Coach K comes to your coach’s clinic.
• • You have a dead-mortal-lock lottery pick on your team.
• • Your team has appeared in a recent “One Shining Moment.”

I don’t want to hear “It was a signature win!” I’m not signing off on it. I don’t want to hear “It was the first time we’ve beaten a top-10 RPI team in six seasons.” If it’s a stat your mother wouldn’t know, forget it. Nor will I stand for “It clinched our spot in the NCAA tournament.” Big deal. Sixty-five teams make it. It’s like making the white pages. Cheer from your seat.

Now we understand here at the Court of Court Rushing that there are occasionally unusual circumstances. Therefore, here are the Official Amendments to the Ironclad and Unbendable Rushing-the-Court Rules. You can rush the court if:

• • Your arena is closing down forever after the game. That will happen this week at Freedom Hall in Louisville and Mac Court in Oregon. Fine. Dig up the boards, too. Take the chairs. Knock yourselves out.
• • Something stupidly wonderful happens, like a 90-foot David Blaine Special goes in or an air ball bounces off the ref’s head to win your conference. Fine.
• • You are Wisconsin-Milwaukee and you are 0-37 against your cross-city rival Marquette. When you win, you should rush the court, then City Hall, then the Miller factory.
• • It’s the first time you’ve beaten your archrival in 10 years or more, plus one of the following: (1) they still have your goat, (2) they stole and painted your best physics professor, or (3) they’re going to end up making PILES more cash than you.
• • Jihadists have kidnapped your power forward and are holding him captive near the key.

Finally, if you are in compliance with the Ironclad and Unbreakable Rules, make sure at least three of you hoist the center. Otherwise you’ll drop him, causing him to rip a rotator cuff and, consequently, miss the rest of the year. Then people will egg your dorm room until you graduate, which will be never because every professor will hate you, too.

Now get out there and remain seated!
