Cornhole Scoreboards

One of, if not, the most important part of playing cornhole is keeping score! Never again will you have to try to keep track of the score in your head. Between all of the lead changes and different amount of points a team can score per round, points can get lost and scores can be mixed up, which will result in perhaps a miscount or, more commonly, an argument.
