The Cornhole Cup

Join us September 4-5 [UPDATE: Just September 4] for The Cornhole Cup and ACL West Conference Qualifier (two separate events)! This event will feature the CORNHOLE CUP COMPETITION and ACL PRO QUALIFIER for the West conference. This event will be limited in size due to space constraints and only to players in Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada. You do NOT need to play in the pro qualifier in order to play in the Cornhole Cup Competition.

RENTAL FEE: Unfortunately with COVID restrictions easing up venues are starting to increase their rental fees. This venue was the cheapest we could find that was accessible to the most amount of players but there is an out-of-pocket cost that the event organizers are fronting. We have built the admission fee into the tournament entry fees.
