East vs West 4 Competition

Our 4rd Annual East vs West Competition is going to kick off the new season! This is an event you DON'T WANT TO MISS! The East side has won the first three years but the west side has exploded over the past 12 months. Who's going to win the Bert Adams East vs West Trophy this year?

The format is going to be a bit different this year. We will still have the traditional double elimination singles tournaments but the doubles events are going to have a new format. All teams will compete in a round robin format where you ONLY play the teams from the opposite side. The top 16 teams after round robin will move on to the elimination round for the points and the cash prizes. The side with the most points will bring home the East vs West trophy!
SPACE IS LIMITED FOR THIS EVENT AND IT WILL SELL OUT

HOTEL
This is a two-day event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Chandler. After the tournaments, you are steps away from Downtown Chandler's nightlife. Grab a room so you can stumble back and get a good night sleep before Sunday's tournaments kick off. 

Rooms are a very affordable $89/night. To book, you can either call our reservation center at 1-877-685-5594 and reference block code YQX, or use the booking link HERE. Please note that those using the link will have to use desktop/laptop computer. The link won't work with cell phones.

Also, when receiving your reservation confirmation online or through the call center, it will automatically show a resort fee.  I was able to get the hotel to WAIVE the resort fee at check-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

1) What are the boundary lines for the EvW Competition? Central Ave. Everything to the east of Central Ave is East side. West side will consist of those west of Central Ave.

2) Can I bring my own lunch if I do not want to buy theirs? No. There should be no outside food or drinks (except water).

3) What if one side has more than the other side? If one side has less players than the other then their chances of earning points decreases. Put some pressure on your cornhole community to represent your side of town.

4) What if I want to bring guests to watch? Guests are welcome. They do not need to pay the venue fee.

5) When do I have to register by? We will be capping the number of players/teams that we can accommodate for this event so be sure to register and pay ahead of time to ensure your spot. Registrations are not complete until payment is made.

7) What if my partner lives on the opposite side of the city than me? This is a unique event so you'll have to find a different partner. Your partner must be on the same side as you.

8) What if I don't have a partner? Come anyways. There's always players looking for a partner.
