What originated as a backyard family BBQ game has transformed into one of the most popular professional sports around. Beanbags, 'baggo', or as it's most commonly known, cornhole - now comes with sponsorships, prize money, and its own cheating scandal.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the number 1 ranked doubles team was allegedly using illegally-sized resin bags. The team made up of Mark Richards and Philip Lopez Jr. was competing the American Cornhole League (ACL) World Championships this past August.

That's when rival cornholer, Devon Harbaugh called the team out. "I thought the bags were too thin", Harbaugh said. With ESPN viewers and cornhole fanatics watching with bated breath, officials paused to inspect the size of the bags being used. 

According to newser, "some of the bags" were found to be under the regulation size of 6in X 6in and a weight of 16 ounces. A clear advantage when trying to slow the bag from sliding off of a board. 

Cornhole continues to grow in popularity, with some professionals making six-figure salaries thanks to sponsorship deals. And when $15,000 in prize money is at stake, someone needs to be held responsible. Spokesperson for the ACL, Trey Ryder stated that the league is "exploring infrastructure for automated bag testing." Hopefully these changes happen sooner rather than later, as for some top professional cornholers, this is their livelihood.

It seems as though the chickens may finally be coming home to roost.
