Below are some answers to commonly asked questions about the Flatiron Cornhole Party Box boards.

No. They are made for portability and accessibility, fun for any location or occasion.

Absolutely not! In fact our founder played competitively for many years including state and national tournaments. We developed some premium exemplary regulation boards and bags over the last two decades. But the recreational game has it's place too.

Just as we love and appreciate the real things when we're being competitive, we also enjoy playing bar-box pool, soft-tip darts, pickleball, mini-golf, and Party Box bags.

We designed the Party Box to be smaller and lighter weight than full size regulation cornhole boards, not just scaled down. To achieve the right combination of portability and good playing conditions, slightly smaller and lighter bags worked better, and a smaller hole fit better.

Party Box boards are built from lighter 1/2" plywood rather than the heavy 3/4" plywood we use for our regulation classic boards. When regulation 16oz bags land on 1/2" plywood boards, they can make the board flex and bounce unacceptably, not only causing the bags to bounce off more, but causing the boards to move (on certain surfaces). Some regulation boards include cross-supports, but we chose to lighten the bags to match the boards instead.

Yes.

But we don't recommend using full size bags for the best experience. The holes are a little smaller and the boards are designed to be played at closer distance. That might balance out as long as your bags are not too stiff to fit through the hole. But depending on your bags, it might be more challenging or outright frustrating to play with a smaller hole.

But the biggest reason to use the smaller lighter Party Box bags is that we designed them to match the size and construction of the Party Box boards to achieve the right playing conditions, not just portability.

Party Box boards are meant to be set up on a smaller court than regulation boards. But there is no official distance. As a recreational game, it's up to you to play the game the way you think is most fun. There's always room to play on Party Box boards.

Any distance is fine for casual or recreational play which is sometimes played from 24, 21, 20 feet or whatever there's room for. Allowing some players to throw from closer is a great way to equalize play for younger, less-skilled, or wheelchair-confined players.
