Cornhole boards should be placed 27 feet apart from front edge to front edge for official adult play. This is the standard distance used in tournaments and competitive play to ensure proper challenge and fairness
. For kids, seniors, or physically impaired players, the boards can be moved closer together, typically between 12 to 15 feet apart, to make the game easier and more accessible
. In summary:
- Official adult distance: 27 feet (front edge to front edge)
- Adjusted distance for kids/seniors: 12 to 15 feet
This distance ensures the holes on the boards are about 33 feet apart and maintains the integrity of the game while allowing flexibility for different skill levels
