RECAP: Christmas Carnival Cornhole Tournament

On Saturday, December 9 we ran the 1st Annual Christmas Carnival Cornhole Tournament at Matson Money in Scottsdale. We had a total of 43 teams competing in two divisions - social, experienced. Money raised from the event benefited Family Promise™ of Arizona, an incredible non-profit who partnered with the Matson Family Foundation to fulfill on our vision of creating and contributing the actual experience of Christmas in such a way that love, hope and generosity, the essence of the Holidays, show up in abundance for the families who need it the most this Holiday Season.

The Social division teams competed in a two-stage tournament - pool play followed by a single elimination tournament. Kyle & Ivan took the championship over the 2nd place team of Chaise & Bradley. Alex & Zach came in 3rd place betting Brannon & Mike in the consolation game. See the full tournament HERE.

After coming up just short in previous regional events, Drea & Jermaine broke through with their first regional win in the Experienced division. Bill & Larry fought back through the loser's bracket to earn a 2nd place finish. Juan & Gilberto rounded out the money winners with a 3rd place finish. See the full tournament HERE.

We also ran a 2nd Chance tournament for the teams that went 0-2 and 1-2. Elevan teams competed in a single elimination tournament. The top 2 teams got their choice of bags generously donated by ACL-approved bag makers. Bryan & Len beat Andy & Bob to win the 2nd Chance tournament. See full tournament HERE.

Our last event of the day was a Long Toss competition. Half of the money in the pot went to the Family Promise of Arizona fundraising efforts and the other half went to the winner of the competition. Matt C. hit the longest shot at 46 feet winning $168 and a set of Xtreme Speed bags donated by Original Cornhole Company.
