N-E-W-S Competition (North-East-West-South)
Our 7th annual season opening event is completing the puzzle - the NORTH is now their own region! This is an event you DON'T WANT TO MISS! The East has won every year so far but the three other regions will be fighting to take home the Bert Adams Trophy.
Along with the N-E-W-S Competition, we are going to celebrate last season's Arizona State Cornhole Champions by presenting them with their championship jersey sponsored by Shot Kings Cornhole and start the new season in style!
