Tournament guide
Cornhole tournament bracket
An eight-team bracket needs seven matches. Each loss ends a team’s run, while each winner moves one round closer to the final.
How the bracket works
Place eight registered teams in four first-round matches. Decide the seeding rule before play so teams know how their opponents were assigned.
The four winners reach the semifinals. The two semifinal winners meet in the final. A score belongs on the bracket only after the match is played.
