Knockout (Cornhole Game)

Version 1:  Knockout is a great way to play when you have an odd number of players such as three, five, or more. You randomly choose the four starting players. After each round or four bags per player, the player who scores the fewest point sits out the next round, and the idle player who has been waiting the longest takes his place. The inner is the first player to win an agreed upon number of consecutive rounds without being knocked out, usually five. When there's a wash, both players remain in and face each other again in the next round - the leader's streak is unbroken by the tie. The player who has won the previous round throws first, while the new challenger always throws second. This leads to fun competition as all players are ganging up to dethrone the leader.


Version 2:  One person throws has to get in the hole. If he doesn’t get it in they in jeopardy of being knocked out. The next person throws if they make it the last person that missed is out. Can have as many people playing.
