Official Cornhole Bags FAQ

Everything you need to know about regulation cornhole bags — size, weight, materials, and more.

Whether you’re buying your first set or stocking up for a tournament, here are the most common questions we get about official cornhole bags.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of regulation cornhole bags?

Each cornhole bag must be a minimum of 6 inches by 6 inches. Some bags run as large as 8 inches by 8 inches, but they should always be square.

What are cornhole bags made of?

Regulation bags are typically made from waterproof duck canvas (duck cloth). Twill and synthetic suede are also acceptable materials.

What is inside cornhole bags?

Traditionally bags were filled with corn. Most modern bags use plastic resin pellets for durability and water resistance; some use beans. We fill all of our bags with plastic resin.

How much should a cornhole bag weigh?

Regulation cornhole bags weigh between 14 and 16 ounces. Bags outside that range can result in disqualification at sanctioned events.

How are official cornhole bags constructed?

Bags are made from two square pieces of fabric sewn together with a quarter-inch, double-stitched seam using durable upholstery thread, which keeps the fill from leaking during play.

Are there rules about bag color?

There are no color regulations. Custom colors, designs, and embroidery are all allowed — just pick colors that contrast with the board and your opponent’s bags for easy scoring.

How can I tell if a set is tournament-legal?

Check with the seller for confirmation that the bags meet regulation size, weight, and construction standards, or look for that information on the manufacturer’s product page.
