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.
Different methods of keeping score are out there in the market, but some of the most efficient scoring towers are the simplest, with clearly displayed numbers for both teams to see regarding the current score of the game.
