General Cornhole Information
The game of cornhole has risen in popularity over the past decade since it’s super easy to play and can even be played while drinking an adult beverage. A theory exists in cornhole that the more one drinks before and during play, the better one gets. While this theory has yet to be proven, RCSSC invites all to come out to any of our sponsors’ locations for a post-game brew to discuss the matter.
General Team Rules
League Basics
(IT'S ALL IN THE FORM: His one-legged perch. The stretching reach for the recently-dispatched bag's destination. The way he uses the weight of the other three bags in his left hand to ever-so-gently pull his right hand over so the bag lands where he needs it to. This, social ladies and gentlemen, is how you play cornhole.)

THE UNSAID SUDSY SOCIAL RULE OF RCSSC
Because the idea of the River City Sport & Social Club is to play sports and be SOCIAL, all teams should patronize one (OR MORE) of RCSSC’s bar sponsors (Home Team Grill, Buffalo Wild Wings, Gus', On The Rox) after each game. These establishments care enough to support RCSSC (YOU), so socially supporting one of our sponsors by having a meal or a few drinks is important. Plus, beer-infused post-game downtime is an essential part of the RCSSC social experience, and these sponsors have been kind enough to offer a player special for all social RCSSC players--as long as they have their team shirt on. Who would say no?
League Divisions
There will be one league division offered for RCSSC co-ed.cornhole—Super Social.
Social- NOT OFFERED
Super Social- We all love cornhole because it is a relaxing game that doesn’t require too much ability—although accuracy is a considerable help. So yes, you’ll need to be semi-accurate with the bags since the whole dern idea is to sink your bags into the hole on the board, but if you find yourself throwing a few stray bags, all it takes is a little bit of practice to straighten-up your game.
Extreme Social- This division is designed for teams and individuals that love to socialize and have BASIC athletic skills. No playoffs are involved in sports with this division when there is a Social Division.
