Our guide to backyard fun with cornhole and other tailgate games

Getting the most of your backyard can be a challenge. We’ve put together a guide to have the most fun at home complete with ideas for spending the weekend in. Remember to order your custom cornhole boards today so you can get started making memories with your family.

Family-Friendly Weekend Corntoss Competition

Get your family together for a weekend-long cornhole competition! Depending on the size of your family, split up into teams or compete one-on-one. All you need is a cornhole set, cornhole bags, and yourselves. Gather in the backyard with chairs, coolers, and watch the competition unfold. Organize a playoffs bracket to up your game and give out fun prizes to everyone regardless of who wins or loses. Save the final face-off for Sunday and celebrate together as a family with an outdoors dinner.

Topple Towers Tuesday

For a quick and fun weeknight family activity, surprise your loved ones by setting up a game of Topple Towers out back. Start with just one round to get the night started or keep going as long as you’re having fun (and not staying up past the kids’ bedtime). With 54 hardwood tiles stacking 18 levels high, your Topple Tower game will reach about 5’. Each Topple Tower block is planed and sanded to ensure smooth sliding. You can even engrave your blocks with custom messages!

Host A Cornhole Night Game

Sometimes backyard games can be rough during the day in the hot sun, depending on the time of year and where you live. Host a night game and light up your backyard for a cool evening outdoors. Set up your custom cornhole boards and light up the playing area with string lights or cornhole lights. Bonus points for playing at night since it adds an extra challenge.

Keep Cornhole Easy

It can be tough making time to get together as a family or taking advantage of your backyard. By making your game easier, you save time and spend more of your day outdoors. Enhance your cornhole game with weatherproof PVC cornhole boards. When you’re done playing, you can leave your boards outdoors without having to check the weather. Instead of forgetting the score each time someone makes a shot, use a score strip or score tower. You can take it to the next level and use a Scorzie. Keep track of all your cornhole equipment in one place by using a corntoss tote bag which makes for convenient storage and transportation.

Charity events are a great way to raise money, but you need to provide quality entertainment to get people to show up. A cornhole tournament is the perfect way to do that. Here’s how to run an official cornhole game for charity.

Setup

When setting up a tournament for charity, you will need 3 things:

1. Food and Drinks – Providing food and drinks is a big draw for players. The sales of these items can also be a great way to add to your profits. A lot of businesses are also willing to donate food and beverages if they like your cause. Reach out to local business to see if they are willing to donate food and drinks in exchange for the publicity they will get at this event.
2. Music – The tournament provides plenty of entertainment, but music will keep everyone entertained when they aren’t playing. It also adds to the fun atmosphere that you’re creating.
3. Sponsors – Many companies will sponsor charity events as a part of their marketing campaign. To ensure that you can raise the most money possible for your favorite charity, you’ll need to reach out to companies for sponsorship.

The Equipment

In order to run a cornhole tournament, you’ll need equipment. You can ask players to bring their own boards and bags, rent boards from a company like Custom Corntoss, or even contact your local cornhole league for help.

Promotion

You can’t have a cornhole tournament if no one knows about it – so promote it! Social media, online marketing, fliers, and word of mouth are a great way to advertise your tournament and get people interested. You can also ask your sponsors to help you advertise!

Now that the weather is warming up, cornhole fanatics everywhere are dragging their boards out of storage. The time has come for tournaments, tailgates, backyard barbecue parties, and casual pickup games. The only thing stopping these cornhole games is the sunset – but does the game have to end?

Cornhole Lights

Custom Corntoss offers cornhole lights in 5 different colors, so the game doesn’t have to end when it gets dark. In fact, it’s just getting started!

Parties

Summer parties never end when the sun goes down – so why should you have to stop playing cornhole? Cornhole lights illuminate the target, so you can see where you’re aiming and continue playing long into the night.

Night Tournaments

Hosting a night tournament is a great way to put a twist on your favorite game. This is especially fun for summer camps and college intramurals. The lights show you where to aim, but the darkness still makes the game slightly more difficult. Just be sure to have flashlights on you for walking around in the dark so you don’t trip and fall.

Concerts and Music Festivals

Group games are popular at music festivals so that people can entertain themselves between acts, or before camping for the night. The lights are a festive way to liven up your cornhole game, and add to the overall vibe of the festival.

No matter how you play, you can add excitement and extra hours to your favorite game with cornhole lights.

Just like any sports equipment, you want to keep your cornhole boards and bags in the best shape possible – especially if you participate in cornhole tournaments. These tips will help you keep your customized cornhole gear in great shape.

Cornhole Boards

• Never store boards face to face – Storing your boards with the surfaces facing inward – it’s a great way to scrape the paint off. Store your boards with the backs together. Cover them with a tarp or cloth cover to prevent them from getting dirty and worn.
• Keep them cool and dry – Your cornhole boards are made of wood, so store them in a cool, dry place where to prevent warping. Your boards are painted with exterior gloss paint, but moisture damage can still become an issue if you don’t store your boards correctly.
• Be gentle – When setting up your boards and putting them away, never slam them down or throw them. They are built sturdily, but playing rough with them can still cause damage.

Cornhole Bags

• Keep them cool and dry – Moisture can completely ruin your cornhole bags. They can develop mold and the inside materials can be ruined as well.
• Keep them inside – Cornhole boards are filled with corn. If you leave them outside they can attract animals like squirrels that will rip your bags open to get at the yummy corn inside.
• Freeze them – Freezing your cornhole bags for 24 hours on a regular basis can help your bags last longer. If you have room in your freezer, consider storing them there when not in use.

Cornhole Accessories

• Store accessories in a dry place – Your cornhole accessories can grow mold, or materials can be ruined by moisture.
• Turn them off – Be sure that your cornhole lights are turned off to prevent the battery from draining.

With these handy tips, your high quality, customizable cornhole gear will stay in pristine condition for years to come. See our FAQ for more information about our equipment.

Decals

If you already own a set of boards, cornhole decals are a great way to customize them. You can choose your favorite sports teams, pick out a few novelty decals, or even design your own custom decals. You can even do a combination of all three and really deck out your boards.

More Casual than a Concert

Music festivals are made up of a bunch of different stages separated by wide open spaces. Mosh pits will form, but there’s lot of free space around the edges to set up your game.

There will be plenty of delicious foods and beverages to entertain your stomach while you listen to the bands. Cornhole is game that only requires one hand to play, so you can still drink your beer or hold on to your burger while you toss the cornhole bags.

For the casual cornhole player who is looking to get more serious about the sport, entering in a tournament is the obvious next step. The problem is that you may not know how to get started.

Do I need my own equipment?

While it is best to have your own boards and bags, some tournaments will set up boards for gameplay so that players do not have to bring their own. Search online or in local papers for cornhole tournaments happening near you and see if they require you to bring your own boards.

What kind of equipment should I buy?

You’ll want to make sure that your equipment comes from an ACA-certified builder – like Custom Corntoss. This means that all equipment sold by these companies follow tournament regulations. It is important that your equipment is up to code when playing an official cornhole game.

How do I play in a tournament?

Look for cornhole tournaments happening near you. Often, they will have information about how to sign up. You don’t necessarily need to be in a league or on a team to sign up, either. Once you get to know the regular players and the tournament holders and have played a few games, the process of entering tournaments will be much easier. You may even find a team to join when you enter as a single player.

Should I join a league?

You don’t need to be part of a league to play in cornhole tournaments, but the comradery and the great feeling that comes from being part of a group will enhance your tournament experience. Many leagues have ways to sign up online or by other methods.

Remember, when first entering the cornhole tournament scene; don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and have fun!
