The official Cornhole board dimensions set forth by the American Cornhole Organization are as follows for a non-sanctioned set of Cornhole board platforms. There are some small differences from their "Tournament" Cornhole board dimensions. For the most part the dimensions below are what most people use when making their boards.
1. Each board is a 48" x 24" rectangle.
2. Each Cornhole should be 6" in diameter, centered 9" from the top of the board and 12" from each side edge.
3. The front of the board should be 3"-4" from bottom to top, about a 90-degree angle to the ground.
4. The back of the board should be 12" from bottom to top, about a 90-degree angle to the ground.
5. The playing surface should be finish-sanded to a smooth texture. There should be no blemishes in the wood surface that might disrupt or distort play.
6. The playing surface can be painted with a high gloss latex paint or varnish. The surface should allow bags to slide when thrown, but not so slippery that bags slide back down the platform.
The above picture is from the ACA's web site. It's a pretty good guide to use when building your first set of Cornhole boards.
That is good to know and these regulations will set standards for the games.
