OT Rip City Cornhole tournament

The second part of your question should be painfully obvious.

 

That's funny. Somehow the wrong clip got copied. What I meant to link was this:

 

I could beat anyone at this game!!!!
My eye hand coordination is off the charts!!!

Not gonna play though.
Id have to make fun of myself and i dont do that. Ever.

 

Shuffle Board baby! Thats a good beer drinking game...

 

Any bag we land on the board counts as one point. But, any bag the opponents land on the board cancel those out accordingly. So, if we land three bags, and they get two, we get one point for that round. Bags that go through the hole are three points, but again, they can cancel out ours and vice versa. Also, if we were to land one in the hole, and they had bags on the board, we cancel out the entire board for them and get our three points, while they get zero.

 

Scoring sounds alot like Louge

 

I would assume it's all the same.

 

It's the cowardly, sissified version of Jarts.

By calling it the cowardly, sissified version of Jarts.

Dayummm. I was joking, but you went there.

I thought everybody but HCP got my jokes these days. lol.

 

"The modern game of cornhole, known more commonly as bean bags or just bags in the Chicago area was likely spread after an article on how to make the boards was published in Popular Mechanics magazine in September 1974. The game spread in Chicago, Illinois, and the Northwest region of Indiana in the late 1970s and early 1980s."

I'm from NW Indiana and grew up in the 70s and early 80s and have never played a game of cornhole in my life. I've seen it played, heard of tournaments, but with less danger than Jarts and less skill than Toss Across, I never saw the point.

We had a set of Jarts that we took on all of our camping trips (much smaller than cornhole platforms and much lighter than horseshoes). My both, parents and I played every evening. In spite of playing in crowded campgrounds full of small children and drunken adults, we never killed anyone - not one!

Bring back Jarts! Darwin would approve.

Obviously, you never had to play with my brother. His release point was HIGH!! Had to run like hell more than once.

 

My dad put a LOT of arc on his Jarts, but he was also accurate. As long as we weren't dumb enough to run under them, we were fine.

I jarted in my pants once, but it didnt have much lift.

 

Truthfully, the lawn dart games were pretty tame. Twilight bow and arrow chicken games were more exciting. Shoot it as straight up as possible and see who's the first one to chicken out after you lose sight of the arrow when it does it's flip and begins the descent. That's an adrenaline rush.

Yeah, my survival was based more on luck than brains.

 

Couldn't resist

 

Did ya win???
