The designation for the activity involving the throwing of small, fabric pouches filled with dried beans or similar materials at a raised platform with a hole is multifaceted. These appellations encompass a variety of terms often reflecting regional variations or specific commercial branding. An instance would be referring to it as “Cornhole” in certain areas of the United States, while others might simply use “Bean Bag Toss.”

A clearly defined title facilitates organizing tournaments, promoting products related to the game, and enables participants to understand the activity being described regardless of their geographic location or familiarity with local slang. Historically, the game has evolved through different iterations and names, each reflecting changing cultural preferences and materials available.
