Well f$%# me running, just when you think you've seen it all......

Seriously though, doesn't it seem to make sense they'd just play with bags supplied by the Tournament? Is that too much common sense to be applied in 2022?

I've heard of this locally when at a recent tournament (was just there to drink lol). Some people even said that local guys would make their own bags out of slicker material and that since the tourneys were always relaxed on rules nobody ever got in trouble for it. You know if it's happening at our little dive bars that it's been happening everywhere much longer lol

How do you cheat at corn hole?

Peg "A" into hole "B", not much else to it.

It was hard for me to take that article seriously after the author referred to cornhole as a “sport”…

you know who the real cheaters are? the dorks that aren't skulling at least a couple Busch Latte's per round.

same goes with beer pong or table pong or whatever the fat neon haired pussies in college are calling it these days.

Exactly. The rules should be; cornhole bag in one hand, beer in the other. And when it's not your turn, you have to man the grill.

A guy I work with plays Pro too, or did a few years ago at least.

I think he was even on ESPN once or twice.

Exactamente, Jefe!

Wether you hold your beer or not, there must be cheap beer in the area.

(I usually set mine down near the box whilst tossing).

how did jett and hunter do?

It is unfortunate that this scandal has rocked that sport.

Perhaps the ACA should consider a cornhole bag production and claiming rule.
