Rules and membership
The rules every Series event follows, and what membership covers.
Equipment and rules of play
Every Series event follows the [Rules of Play](/series/rules-of-play): standard competitive cornhole rules, plus a few Series additions for classes, Scoreholio scoring and membership.
- Bags: any resin-filled bag that meets the size and weight in the Rules of Play. Corn-filled bags aren't allowed.
- Scoring platform: all Series events run on Scoreholio, which is also the source for player statistics.
Membership

What your membership includes
