come play Cornhole

Cornhole: the next Olympic event. 16,000 cornholers in the US alone (apparently many players are displaced Buckeyes).

Players pitch "corn bags" at a raised platform with a hole in the far end.
There's three values: Corn Bag In-The-Hole (bag lands totally in the hole), Corn Bag In-The-Count (not quite in the hole) and Corn Bag Out-Of-The-Count (bag lands nowhere near the hole).

Whatever you do, don't shoot a Mary Ellen (throwing your cornbag short of the board, that's a one shot penalty.

As the association says "Help us make Cornhole, America’s game".
