RRRC’s Cornhole Team Challenge
Round 2 - Don't Spill the Beans!
July 11, 2026 through September 12, 2026

Welcome to RRRC’s version of Cornhole! This is the reading version of the classic lawn game where instead of tossing beanbags, you will be attempting to get your book in the hole.

Challenge Dates:
Signups open until Thursday, July 2, 2026 at 6 PM US ET.
Teams Allocated July 2nd after signups close, please allow several hours.
First Inning Begins on Saturday, July 11, 2026 at 6 PM US ET.
Last Inning Ends on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 6 PM US ET, completions will not be accepted after this time.

RRRC’s Cornhole Team Challenge is a 9 week team challenge. Each week you and your team will be playing an inning of Cornhole. Innings will run from Saturday to Saturday at 6 PM US ET. Each player will need to read one book per week. Each inning 3 prompts will be given. Prompts will build in detail. Prompts must be compiled in order - the book has to fit the first prompt before you can add the second and must fit the first and second before adding the third. Second and third prompts can’t be done separately. Books must be completed within each inning, there is no carryover. Points will be tallied at the end of each inning. The teams with the most points at the end of the 9 innings wins.

Scoring for each inning:
On the Ground: Your selected book meets the first prompt - 1 Point.
On the Board: Your selected book meets the first and second prompts - 3 Points.
In the Hole: Your selected book meets the first, second and third prompts - 5 Points.

🌽 Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count only! If your page count comes from a Kindle edition published on the initial publication date on the editions page, it will count. If your page count comes from a Kindle edition labeled '1st edition', it will count. If your page count comes from the earliest dated English language Kindle edition, it will count. I am looking for one of those three things when confirming your books! As long the page count you list is correct, I will accept any link to the book. Ebook page count will be acceptable if no Kindle page count available. The acceptability of other page counts will be made on an individual basis.**

🌽 Selection Posts are required. And should be posted prior to your completions. Both Selection and Completion Posts must be made before the inning ends.

🌽 There is a 100 page minimum for books (first edition Kindle), rereads and audios allowed. There must be an English language edition for a book to qualify for this challenge. Books may only be used once per player during the challenge. Players may read the same or different books than your teammates for each inning. Books cannot be started before the inning begins. Books do not have to be romance, but must be fiction.

🌽 If corrections are requested, reposts are required.

🌽 I need to know where to look for you qualifications. If it is in the precis, let me know. If it is in the book details, say so. If it is in the title, point that out. And so on… If you are using anything not included on the main book page as a qualification, a link needs to be included even if that request is not included in the prompt details.

🌽 Please do not delete messages for any reason. You may strike through a comment using <*s> and <*/s> without the asterisks if desired. Once I start checking posts, I keep track of the last message I've checked. If you delete messages, I may miss something and I would hate that!

I will be tracking each team's completions and using the captains' tracking to confirm before tallying points at the end of each inning.

Captains, anything you can do to help is appreciated! Simply listing the completions with message number is great - links are not required, but always appreciated. 😊

Captains, please reserve a few spaces for tracking.

Introduce yourselves to your teammates. Let then know where you are from, what your interests are in life and in books! Consider friending each other, that makes it easier to follow the goings on.

Your first task as a team is to come up with a team name. The theme this round is Hole in One and your team name should relate to that. Captains, please post your team name in the Q&A thread when you have decided.
