Popping mad! Professional cornhole - the US passtime where small bags of maize kernels are thrown through a gap in a board - is rocked by 'BagGate' scandal after top team 'used thinner and lighter bags to win $15,000 prize'
  • last year
The world of professional cornhole is reeling from a potential cheating scandal that happened several months ago at the 2022 American Cornhole League World Championship. During one of the games, No. 1 team, Mark Richard and Philip Lopez, were accused by a competitor, Devon Harbaugh, of using bags that were too small. When officials checked the bags, they determined that the bags were too small, but also that the bags used by Harbaugh and his teammate did not meet code. The scandal has now rocked the cornhole world with many wondering how long incidents like this may have been going on in competitions where prizes can be tens of thousands of dollars.
