3. CORN BAGS IN-THE-HOLE: Opposing hole-ins cancel each other. A corn bag in-the-hole of one contestant shall cancel a corn bag in-the-hole of his competitor and those corn bags shall not score any points. Any non cancelled corn bag in-the-hole scores three points.

4. CORN BAGS IN-THE-COUNT (on the board): Opposing corn bags in-the-count cancel each other. A corn bag in-the-count of one contestant shall cancel a corn bags in-the-count of the opponent and those corn bags shall not score any points. Any non cancelled corn bags in-the-count score one point each.

5. CALCULATING THE SCORE: a. The points of both contestants/teams are calculated for hole-ins and in-the-count corn bags. b. The points of the lowest scoring contestant for hole-in corn bags are subtracted from the points of the highest scoring contestant for hole-in corn bags. The result is the hole-in score for the highest scoring contestant. The hole-in score for the lowest scoring contestant is zero. c. The points of the lowest scoring contestant for in-the-count corn bags are subtracted from the points of the highest scoring contestant for in-the-count corn bags. The result is the in-the-count score for the highest scoring contestant. The in-the-count score for the lowest scoring contestant is zero. d. The hole-in score for each contestant is added to the in-the-count score for each contestant to derive the recorded score for the inning. e.
