115 Cornhole Team Names, Slogans, and Sayings for Every Toss

Cornhole teams are usually two people, a set of bags and a name someone has to write on the bracket in the next thirty seconds. A good one gets a laugh at the board and still reads fine on a shirt when Grandma is in the next game.

This list has 95 team names and 20 slogans and sayings, sorted from family-safe to tailgate. After the names you will find tournament names, what the game is called in different parts of the country, the basic rules, and puns and jokes for between rounds.

How to Pick a Cornhole Team Name That Actually Sticks

• Match the crowd. A family reunion and a bar league need different names. When in doubt, pick one you would say in front of anyone's kids.
• Keep it bracket-sized. Two or three words fit on a bracket sheet and a shirt back.
• Make it yellable. If you have to explain it across the yard, cut it.
• Use the game. Corn, kernels, bags, holes, airmail and the 21-point finish are all good material.

Other Names for Cornhole: What the Game Is Called Around the US

The name comes from the bags, which were traditionally filled with dried corn. Many tournament bags now use plastic resin pellets that hold up better in rain. Because the word has a slang double meaning, schools and family events often list the game as “bean bag toss” or “corn toss” instead.

Cornhole Basics in 30 Seconds

These specs come from the American Cornhole Organization's official rules. The American Cornhole League's rules are close but not identical (for example, its bag weight range is slightly wider), as Wikipedia's cornhole entry notes:

• Boards: 2 feet by 4 feet, with a 6-inch hole centered 9 inches from the top.
• Distance: 27 feet between the front edges of the boards for adults.
• Bags: 6 by 6 inches, filled with resin, and about 16 ounces (15.75 to 16.25 ounces) each, four per side.
• Scoring: 3 points for a bag through the hole, 1 point for a bag left on the board (a “woody”).
• Cancellation: only the difference between the two sides scores each round, and the first side to reach 21 at the end of a round wins.

Backyard games often shorten the distance for kids or play to 11 for a quicker round. The rules are flexible as long as everyone agrees before the first toss.

Cornhole Puns for Captions, Signs & Trash Talk

These are not team names; they are the lines you use around the game: the photo caption, the tournament sign, the trash talk after a bag drops in.

Cornhole Jokes to Tell Between Rounds

• Why do cornhole bags lose every argument? They always fold under pressure.
• What did the hole say to the bag stuck on its edge? “Don't leave me hanging.”
• Why was the corn stalk such a good cornhole coach? It was all ears.
• What's the difference between a cornhole pro and a beginner? About 27 feet of excuses.
• What do you call a bag that skips the board and drops straight in? Airmail, and the other team calls it showing off.
• Why did the cornhole board go to therapy? People kept throwing things at it.
• Why did the bean bag break up with the board? It needed some space.
• What do you call a cornhole player who never misses? A liar.

“Airmail” is a real cornhole term for a bag that goes straight into the hole without touching the board.

Putting Your Team Name on Shirts and Tournament Gear

For a tournament, the usual set is a shirt per player with the team name on the back, and koozies or a small prize for the winners. Boards themselves are usually decorated with a vinyl wrap or a direct UV print, and bags are printed or embroidered per side so teams can tell their sets apart.
