Cornhole – it’s a funny word, we know.  But were you aware of its growing popularity as a game/sport?  Odds On Promotions is here to explain how the game’s played (if you’re not familiar with it) and exactly how prize insurance can make any cornhole event that much more rewarding!

In a nutshell, cornhole is a lawn game where players take turns throwing canvas bags that are filled with feed corn at a raised platform (commonly made out of either plastic or plywood) that has a hole cut in the far end.  If a bag goes through the hole, it’s worth 3 points; if it hits the platform itself, it’s worth 1 point.  A player must reach a score of over 21 points until the game is considered over.

The game’s origin began in 14th century Germany and was then rediscovered in the state of Ohio within the last century, but is now sweeping the nation and becoming increasingly popular by the day.  For further information about Cornhole, and its growing popularity, check out this article in the New York Times.

According to Odds On Promotions’ Risk Manager, Zak Woodhead, “We recently insured a $25,000 Cornhole toss at a tournament. You can insure a single toss from 60 feet for 3 contestants with a $10,000 prize for around $500.  We are also happy to quote other options from various distances  – for example, make 6 out of 6 from 30 feet and win $50,000.”
