Slinging Bags and Chasing Glory: How to Host the Ultimate Cornhole Tournament
Greetings, fellow game enthusiasts! If you're on a mission to transform your backyard into the battlefield of bean bag battles, you're in the right place. Today, we're spilling the beans on how to host a cornhole tournament that will be the talk of the town. And guess what? Barn Burner Wood Games has your back, offering a cornhole tournament rental package that takes the stress out of organizing and injects a hefty dose of fun. Let's dive into the world of tossing bags, chasing glory, and creating memories that stick around longer than that perfectly executed slide.
Setting the Stage: The Venue
First things first – pick the perfect spot for your cornhole showdown. Whether it's your backyard, a local park, or the heart of the Texas Hill Country, ensure you've got enough space for the boards, spectators, and, of course, some epic victory dances. A great tournament can be held with only 1 cornhole board set, however I recommend at minimum 2 sets to keep the tournament rolling and give your guest 2 games to watch at a time! With this being said, make sure your space can accomodate 2 sets.
The Lineup: Assemble Your Teams
The key to a memorable cornhole tournament lies in the teams. Encourage a mix of skill levels, from first-timers to seasoned pros. Remember, it's not just about winning; it's about creating an inclusive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. It may seem obvious, but this point often goes overlooked and you wind up with a tournament that one team dominates and before you know it, the tournament is over. So whether its randomly drawn from a hat or picked based off of skill level, do you best to level the playing field.

The Gear: Cornhole Essentials
Now, let's talk gear. A successful cornhole tournament requires top-notch equipment. Invest in quality cornhole boards and bags like these:
This set is my favorite available on Amazon right now. It is regulation 2ft x 4ft. It’s not too heavy so setup and take down is quick. It has a carrying case so you can store them in your garage or closet without worry. And the price point is fair.
Cornhole Bags
The only thing is that bags are not included. Here is the set I order for my cornhole tournaments. As for bags, it’s important for them to be made of a tough canvas. I tend to stay away from fillings that are sand-like, as they tend to seep out over time. I also prefer bags that have a water proof bean material on the inside so I don’t have to worry about rotting corn in them! Here are the bags, highly recommend.
The Rules: A Fair and Square Battle
Every great tournament needs rules, and cornhole is no exception. Set clear guidelines for scoring, fouls, and any house rules you want to throw into the mix. Keep it light-hearted and fair, and remember, it's all about enjoying the game.
The Atmosphere: Ambiance Matters
Create an ambiance that oozes cornhole charm. String lights, comfortable seating, and a designated area for spectators will elevate the overall experience. And for that extra touch of magic, consider adding these Outdoor String Lights to your playing area. Especially when the sun is beginning to set and its championship game time!
These are great because their essentially maintenance free! Set them up, they’ll charge up and you’re ready to go. I am a big fan of “Simple yet Effective”
The Refreshments: Keep the Spirits High
No tournament is complete without refreshments. Consider a snack bar with popcorn, pretzels, and refreshing beverages to keep players and spectators fueled and hydrated throughout the competition. For the longest time, while hosting parties, we would always just lug out a cooler. No it didnt look great. Yeah the drinks stayed reasonably cool, probably helped we drank them fast. Anyway, we finally upgraded to this cooler and I’m so happy we did. It stays outside, we just spray it off every so often. Its great.
The Finale: Victory and Celebration
As the final bags are tossed and the champions crowned, it's time for the victory celebration. Capture the moment with a winners' podium, medals, or even a customized trophy.
Cheers to Cornhole Glory!
