Cornhole
About Cornhole
Cornhole is one of the newest sport offerings for Special Olympics Wisconsin. Teams of two score points by tossing beanbags toward a long, flat board. A game is completed when one team reaches 21 points (or is ended due to time constraints).
2025 Competition Options
Athletes will compete at Summer Games at UW-Whitewater on June 6-8, 2024. Teams will be assigned divisions prior to the event based on qualifying scores from the Corn Hole Assessment Test (CHAT).
Based on feedback from the 2022 State Cornhole Tournament, SOWI has changed the Cornhole event offerings moving forward.
- Level 1 – Rules remain the same. Played on a 21ft court. The difference between the total points scored by each team in a half inning will be awarded to the team with the highest score.
- Level 2 – A more challenging event for teams of higher ability. Played on a 27ft court with points calculated by total cancellation. The difference between the total points scored by each team in a half inning will be awarded to the team with the highest score.
- Unified – Unified teams will be comprised of one athlete and one unified partner. Unified Cornhole shall be played on a 27ft court and follow the same point system as Level 2.
- Developmental – An event offering for athletes that do not have the strength to throw the corn bag the full length of a 27ft court. Developmental Cornhole shall be played on a 18ft court and follow the same point system as Level 2.
