Score activated cornhole light insert

The score activated cornhole light insert is a lighting accessory that can be built into an originally manufactured cornhole board, or retrofitted into existing cornhole boards. The scoring hole with the insert in place will maintain the regulation six-inch inner diameter. The insert has adjustable mounting brackets to position the top of the insert flush with the cornhole board to prevent interference with game play or cornhole rule and regulations. The insert detects when a media filled bag has passed through the scoring hole, triggering a distinctive light pattern. In addition, the insert will indicate the battery level with a series of different blinking speeds during the first few moments of operation. The insert is watertight and designed to prevent false positives when a media filled bag lies partly on the cornhole board and partly over the scoring hole by lowering an infrared break beam below the board top surface.
