ScoreMagic - Cornhole
Bag tracking made Easy Peasy.
What can be the most confusing part of scoring in cornhole? The process of figuring out what you scored vs what your opponent scored and then combining those for net scoring. Well we at Scoreholio thought this was something we could help with. And since we never do anything the basic way, we thought that we should add some MAGIC!!
The Idea:
The sport of cornhole has 3 options for scoring:
0 points for a bag off the board
1 point for a bag on the board
3 points for a bag in the hole
With each player only throwing 4 bags, that gives us a range of points to be scored from 0 -12 per round.
After looking at the possibilities, a hypothesis began to emerge. Could you calculate what combinations of bags were thrown based off of the round score?
Well you can, and that is where the Magic happens!

As you can see from the table above, you can track what bags were thrown based off the round scores for the following: 0-1-2-5-7-8-9-10-12.
Note: there is NO way to throw an 11 for the round.
For scores 3-4-6 there are two possibilities for how the bags are tracked. However, you can easily see which combination it was based on how many bags were in the hole.
The Build:
We had the idea and all the possible outcomes, it was time to start building the Magic. All we needed to know was what each player scored, we built scoremagic with one team on each side of the scoreboard.
Players can easily pick who played the round, what their round score was, and submit the round. Easy Peasy.
The Process:
Scoremagic is ready to transform the scoring process for the sport of cornhole. Let’s walk through how it works.
