The Internet Goes To The Playground
The corn hole toss game is a popular pass time for all ages. It can be played by kids of almost any age, and adults frequently find that the game can be quite addicting!
They say that these corn hole toss game originated from Germany and then someone shipped the game idea to Kentucky or Cincinnati, where it has quickly become an favorite American past time. Regardless of where the game originated, no one can hide the fact that more and more people are getting hooked with this lawn game.
The game play of corn hole toss game is pretty simple. There are two opposing teams. They race to get 21 points by pitching their corn hole bags to the platform opposite their pitching box. If the bag lands on the platform, that merits one point. If the bag goes in the hole, then three points are awarded! Mostly, people use the cancellation method. For each inning, if the first team gets 3 points, and the second team gets 6 points, the second team gets the score of 3 points. How was the 3 points derived? Simple:
Higher team score minus Lower team score = Total score of Higher team for that inning.
Let’s look at some rules of the corn hole toss game:
- A player has 20 seconds to throw the bag. Count starts as soon as the first foot steps in the pitcher’s box.
- Each inning allows for the throwing of 4 bags.
- If the bag that initially lands on the platform gets pushed in the hole by a bag after, the points change to 3 points. If a bag that lands on the platform stays there after the end of the inning that will merit 1 point.
- If the bag touches the ground before it touches the platform or the bag touches the platform then slides partly to the ground, that bag is removed.
- An inning or a frame has to be completed before a team wins.
- If you get lucky and you shoot all bags into the hole in one inning, you win the game and you earn 20 points!
- For a bag that goes in the hole without touching any part of the platform, you get 5 points. This is called a “swish.”
Speaking of swish, here is some corn hole lingo commonly used in the game. These will help you follow the game if you are watching a tournament.

okay parents or civilized people please tell me…..?
would you really be okay if a convicted rapist moved in across the street from you???/ say like the pope or the aggrivated rapist whos been charged with 60 or more counts of rape or the rapist who tortured and killed his victims, statistics show that they will do it again???
im not talking about statutory rape the ones under 16( in some cases). but the internet is the petophiles playground right??
but seriously will you go on normally with life or will you try to take steps into getting him removed?
yeah right who will actually go up to a rapists and say ” hi come on over and have tea, id like to find out more about you!!!!! lol
by the time the cops reach you will be done for and im talking about an aggrivated rapist and child molestors not statutory rape or those people cryin’ rape we they were drunk off there rockers!!!!
normally if he is considered a convicted rapist the cops keep an eye out on him anyways (secretly). Even though he has done his time the cops take measures to make sure it doesn’t happen again. I would most likely do research and just take down notes on his behavior.
