Gameplay strategy varies by player and skill level. At the professional level, players can easily slide all four bags into the hole if no bag blocks the path. Defensive strategies are often employed to slow down gameplay or force opponents to make difficult decisions.
If a bag lands only partially on the board and is also touching the ground, it does not count and is removed before continuing. The areas immediately to the left and right of the boards are the pitcher’s boxes. The line extending from the bottom edge of the board in both the left and right direction is the foul line. When throwing the bags, players cannot step past the foul line or else the throw does not count. Each board is 2 by 4 feet (0.61 by 1.22 m), with a 6-inch diameter hole. The hole’s center is positioned 9 inches down from the center of the top edge of the board.

Each board is angled with the top edge of the playing surface 12 inches above the ground, and the bottom edge 3–4 inches (76–102 mm) above the ground. A standard court places the two boards 33 feet or 27 feet (8.2 m) apart, measuring from the bottom edge of the boards. Different distances may be used if space is limited or if younger players are participating. Some smaller versions of the game, with scaled-down boards, bags, and holes are available specifically for children.
•Shucked – This refers to a player or team that has beaten 13-0, for those that play past the 11-0 skunk. •Lipper– A bag that is on the board, halfway hanging into the hole, but not all the way through to gain the 3 points. •Granny– Just like in bowling, a granny shot is achieved by using both hands and tossing the beanbag from between the legs. •Cow Pie– You receive a cow pie, one point, for having a beanbag land and stay on the board. •Back Door– A beanbag that, either by bouncing or a swish, goes over the top of a blocker and into the hole for 3 points. •Ace– You receive an ace, one point, for having a beanbag land on the board.
