Regulation Cornhole Boards (4' x 2') — The Official Standard for Serious Play
Regulation cornhole boards are the gold standard for competitive players, tournament organizers, and backyard enthusiasts who want the same playing experience they see on TV and at official events. Whether you’re building a home court, gearing up for league play, or looking for professional-grade equipment for your next tailgate, our Regulation Cornhole Boards collection brings together the highest-quality 4' x 2' boards in the game.
These boards follow the official size and construction guidelines used by major organizations such as the ACL, ACO, ACA, TCL, and WSOC — giving you consistent performance, perfect throw control, and the durability you expect from competition-level gear.
What Are Regulation Cornhole Boards?
Official tournament-size cornhole boards measure:
-
Length: 48 inches
-
Width: 24 inches
-
Hole Diameter: 6 inches
-
Hole Center: 9 inches from the top
-
Playing Surface Height: 12" (back), 3–4" (front)
By meeting these industry standards, regulation boards create a true, reliable playing experience that mirrors competitive events. If you practice on regulation boards, you’ll improve your muscle memory, shot placement, and scoring consistency.
Why Choose Regulation Boards Instead of Tailgate or Recreational Sets?
1. True Competitive Experience
If you compete in leagues or plan to play in WSOC, ACL, ACO, ACA, or TCL tournaments, regulation boards are a must. Practicing on smaller boards or non-regulated sets can alter your throw mechanics.
2. Superior Build Quality
Most regulation boards use:
-
Baltic birch, maple, or high-grade hardwood
-
Tournament-quality tops (smooth, consistent slide)
-
Strong frame construction to eliminate bounce
-
Options like hidden fasteners, rounded edges, and pro-level finishes
These features improve slide predictability and reduce unwanted board movement.
3. Best for Bag Control Training
Regulation boards help players master:
-
Slide shots
-
Airmails
-
Block shots
-
Cut, roll, and flop shots
Paired with Pro-Style Cornhole Bags (internal link cue), this creates a true pro-level setup.

Board Surface Speed
Surface speed is influenced by:

Clear coats or polyurethane
-
Material density
Fast boards benefit slide-shot players, while medium-speed boards are preferred for precise control.
For beginners, medium speed is generally easier to manage.
Weight & Portability
High-quality regulation boards typically weigh more due to better construction. If portability is important, consider:
-
Folding legs
-
Carrying handles
-
All-weather composite boards (lighter)
