Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for tracking variables associated with the throwing of a tossable gaming bag, such cornhole gaming bags. A flight data collection system associated with the gaming bag can track velocity, rotation, and height of the gaming bag during a toss. The tracked variables can be displayed on a graphical display.
