On September 12, we ran Kick Off Cornhole Tournament at The Barn in Queen Creek. The event kicked off the 2020-2021 season. There were seven different singles and doubles tournaments, a long toss challenge and a Sit N Go blind draw.

*NOTE: Anyone with WALLET next to the prize amount had their payout sent to his/her ACL Wallet. This money can be used for future events or cashed out. Cashing out to PayPal is not yet available but should hopefully be ready this week. You can cash out using the other options as well but PayPal will be the cheapest.

A special THANK YOU! to Original Cornhole Company for the new boards for the event/season. Additionally, THANK YOU! to BagsBoards.com for donating the bag cases for the novice division. Lastly, a special THANK YOU! to Lucy and Renee (and anyone else I didn't catch) for helping to clean up bottles and trash left behind on the playing surface! That was a huge help at the end of a long day!

All experienced teams started in the Open Doubles division where they competed in a six game round robin. Results from the initial phase seeded the teams into a double elimination tournament in one of three leveled divisions.

The Novice Doubles division teams all started in a four game round robin. Results from the initial phase seeded them into a single elimination tournament for prizes.
