Glossary

Quick definitions for the terms and acronyms used across Skoryd.

Scoring & stats

Cancellation scoring — the standard cornhole method: each round, bags in the hole are worth 3 and bags on the board 1, then the two sides cancel so only the higher side scores the round, by the difference. See Scoring a cornhole match.

Bust — going over the target score sends you back to a set value instead of winning (cornhole, when enabled).

Four-bagger (4B) — a round where all four of your bags land in the hole.

PPR — Points Per Round — gross throwing production per round (3 per bag in the hole, 1 per bag on the board), before cancellation.

OPPR — Opponent Points Per Round — the same measure for your opponents.

DPR — Defensive Points Per Round — derived from the gap between your production and your opponents'.

OPR — Overall Performance Rating — a single 0–100 cornhole rating blending win rate and production. See Cornhole stats & OPR.

CV — Competition Variance — within one event, your bracket PPR minus your qualifying PPR; near zero means you play the same in both phases, and a large positive number can mean you rise to the occasion — or that you sandbagged the qualifying rounds (cornhole). See Cornhole stats & OPR.

Win rate — wins divided by games played.

Net vs gross — cornhole game outcomes (W/L, average points) use the net cancellation score; throwing production (PPR and friends) uses gross bags.

Play & formats

Quick Play — casual matches outside any scheduled event, still counted in stats. There's no Dispute in Quick Play: players fix a wrong score with Fix score. See Quick Play & QR scanning.

Singles / Doubles — one player per side vs two players per side.

Fixed partners / Blind draw / Partner Switch — the three ways doubles partners are determined. See Event formats.

Partner Switch — a doubles format where partners rotate every round.

Near-Whist rotation — the Partner Switch scheduling method that maximizes partner and opponent variety while keeping courts balanced.

Who throws first (doubles) — picked on the Match setup card when a standard doubles match starts. Partners then take turns, so each round's bags are credited to the partner who threw them. See Scoring a cornhole match.

Tandem doubles — a doubles style where both partners throw from the same board, 2 bags each, every round. Events that use it are labelled Tandem Doubles, and they have their own Tandem and Tandem Teams leaderboards: neither partner's bags can be told apart, so each is credited with the side's full production, which never mixes into a singles or doubles record.

Crew Cup — cornhole played by teams of 4, 6, or 8, with two teammates at each board throwing 2 bags each per round. Has its own Crew leaderboard, separate from singles and doubles for the same reason. See Crew Cup (team play).

Events

League — recurring/season play (round robin or RR + bracket).

Tournament — a dated single- or multi-day event, any schedule type.

Round robin (RR) — everyone plays everyone.

Single / Double elimination — bracket formats; out after one loss, or after two.

Seed — an entrant's rank going into a bracket, used to keep the strongest and weakest apart early.

Snake seed — the placement pattern that distributes seeds across the bracket so top seeds don't meet until late.

Seed source — where seeding numbers come from (this event, the club, Quick Play, a previous event, global, or a season). See Brackets & seeding.

Season — a stats container for a date window, run by a club, an organization, or Skoryd (global). See Seasons.

Waitlist — the queue for a full event; the longest-waiting person is promoted when a spot opens.

People & tools

Director — the club owner. A director runs the club and is also an organizer (every director has full organizer powers).

Organizer — a club director or a promoted co-organizer who runs events and resolves disputed event scores. When help text says "an organizer," it means anyone with these powers, including the director.

Member — an approved player in a club.

Guest — a walk-in without an account, added with a G-XXXXXX claim code. See Guests & walk-ins.
