All Weather Corn Hole Game - Need Of The Hour
| Both the Cornhole games and the washers game very similar. The Cornhole Games and the Washers games are real fun to play with your family and friends. These games can be played at home and since they are usually played in the backyard and lawns they are called yard games or lawn games. It's not necessary that these games should only be played in the backyard or on the lawn, if you have a plausibly big space like a picnic spot or a park or beach you can play these games and have fun. nnBoth are pitching games, one pitches metal washers into a PVC cup kept inside the washer box and other pitches corn bags into the holes of the cornhole boards. Both are competitive games. The object of both the games is to earn points by pitching the washers/corn-bags into the cup/hole. The rules of the games and the scoring format too are quite similar, though not same. Yet, they are two distinct games requiring separate discussions.nnnnnnnnnThe washers game to begin with is known in different names through out the US. It is known as the washers, washers pitching, washer toss, "Texas Horseshoes" or washoos. This game has many variations and is modified to suit the people who play this game in different parts of the US. The cup is set in a washer's box and the size of this washer's box varies. The distance between the two boxes and the final winning scores are also differ. It is very difficult to provide a correct description of the washer's game.nnnThese variations have not taken away the main ingredient of the game which is fun. Only those who are in a competition are very particular about the size of the board, if you are playing the game for fun it will not matter to you if the washer board is 14"X14"X4" or 16"X16"X5.5". Most of the boards that are available have a single 4" PVC cup set in the middle and some boards may also have two, where one is smaller that the standard 4" cup. The washers that are used pitch inside the cup are mostly made from rust proof iron and have a 2.5" outside diameter and a 1" inside diameter. These boxes are normally set 21" apart and this can also be less. The rules for this game is that the player has to stand beind or next to one of the boxes to pitch the washers into the opposite boxes.nnnThe score pattern for this game would be a 3 if the washer falls inside the cup and 1 if it falls inside the box. The game will go on till the player scores 21 and this is not an easy task, this is quite complicated and it can take time to score 21. There are a lots of wash-outs and rebuts that are involved in this game and the second player can also cancel the first player's points. nnThis also happens in corn hole games. Unless you are preparing for a competition, buy an all weather corn hole set. The standard competition board, known as the regulation board is 4'X2'. It is made of plywood and is slanting. There are also tailgating boards measuring 3'X2'. The all weather boards are made from plastic and can measure either 4'X2' or 3'X2'. The bags are made of waterproof cloth instead of usual duck canvas. They are filled with plastic palettes instead of real feed cotton. Otherwise, they are 6"X6" in size and weigh between 14 and 16 ounces as specified by ACA, the American Cornhole Association.nnThe reactionary fans of the corn hole games will not want to even touch the an all weather corn hole game set because they don't know feel this is different but also because they do not like the idea that there is not dust when the bag hits the board. They believe that there must be dust to enjoy the game. This feeling is different for people who do not prefer the dust and they feel that the all weather cornhole board is ideal for them. They believe the game is all about fun and that too "clean fun" and there is a Big NO for the dust and dirt. The all weather corn hole game does not require much maintenance and is fun to play a game while the barbeque is being cooked. This board can be kept out the whole night and you will not have to worry about the due or the rain spoiling the board. The birds and squirrels will not touch the plastic palettes. You can carry the board to the beach or take it out for tailgating and all you can have is "clean fun".nnnThe corn toss game and the washers game provide non stop fun. Apart from this they have their own qualities:no This game helps people to chill out and get rid of many health complications.no Since these games are a good form of exercise they keep our body fit and healty.no These are also considered as family games as they help a family to spend some quality time together.nnMany people suppose that both these games are originated from the horseshoe games and that there are a few changes made to this game to suit the local condition. In a way this may be right because these games are still being modified to suit time, and if this is not done this game will not survive and it is the known fact that nothing can survive if it does not change with time.n. n |
