So “Pitching Cornhole” found this and posted it on Facebook (http://www.americantailgatingleague.com/?MegaGatedetails). $100,000 in cash prizes in Vegas over Super Bowl weekend 2011 (coincidentally, the same weekend the ACO said the “King of Cornhole” would be). Read more…

So I’m looking forward to this upcoming weekend and attending the “World Championships” (non-ACO style). I realize the prizes for Saturday may not be worth the trip, but just the chance to play the game against some of the best and hang out with the cornhole community makes it all worth it.

So there is no doubt that there are tons of opinions on what players should be in the top 10. So I’m just going to throw mine out there based on what I’ve seen and heard. I’ll apologize in advance for leaving a few out that no doubt deserve it that perhaps I’ve never seen or only seen once. I also used the standings shown in this prior post http://cornholeblogger.com/2010/05/12/the-true-world-cornhole-rankings-according-to-the-cornholeblogger/

So Canton was interesting. Definitely the best payouts thus far for a cornhole event, throw in free food, t-shirts, other “door” prizes and it was a win for most. Sadly the rain rolled around towards evening which caused pro doubles and the singles championship match to be moved indoors. When the resin bags settled (as almost all the pro’s were throwing resin), it ended something like this. Read more…

So I played in a couple of leagues this Spring/Summer that had two totally different approaches to how the payouts should be done and I’m curious what other cornhole players thought was the better approach? Read more…

The ACO has the framework in place, they have the equipment that everyone wants to use and they have people in many cities willing to help promote and sell their product. So why is it cornhole is still a long ways away from being on ESPN? And why is it in fact shrinking (at the Pro level) when it should be growing by leaps and bounds? The answer is simple Read more…
Yesterday (June 20th) the ACO announced that they are “reloading” for 2010 and changing all the rules. You can find these changes at http://kingofcornhole.com/2010/06/20/aco-reloaded/ and the PDF file that is linked into that article. While I am completely against changing rules mid-season, the ACO was so far off on doing things correctly that I am actually in favor of them changing mid-season. Read more…
It’s a sad day in the cornhole community. The only real player in the National Cornhole market has announced that not only will they NOT be paying out the GUARANTEED $25,000 prize purse for the CornyForty this year, they’re not even going to pay out the $13,000+ that players paid to enter the CornyForty. In a Facebook post made by “King of Cornhole” the ACO stated the following: Read more…
Matt Guy and Steve Vanderver were kind enough to provide their thoughts on what has happened this year with the ACO. Both of them took the time to respond to this article http://cornholeblogger.com/2010/06/21/the-aco-is-reloading-for-2010-analyzing-the-changes/#respond Read more…
The ACO is moving forward with the hosting of the Fifth King of Cornhole event. Looks like January 21-22nd, 2011 are the dates as of now with an undetermined location in the Midwest. Read more…
So we all know the ACO has had their ups and downs. I’ve also posted my thoughts over and over again on what I think they should have done and should be doing, but I want to hear from others. Reply to this post and put down what you want to see! Read more…
So I’m going to try doing more and more of this. I think players like to see how tournaments went and see some pics and video, however, I’m not very good at it (yet…) so please bear with me. It’s also hard when I play in the event as I have other things on my mind. Also working on getting a camera that get take substantial video, not just 45 second clips….. Anyway, here it goes.

This is an idea for the local tournies out there and I was curious what the cornhole world thought about it. I know there are teams out there that are all about the money, but in order to grow the sport I think you need to try and keep teams happy with more games and more payouts, so I’m just throwing this out there as an idea.

So I have yet to attend a tournament that was “bring your own bags”, but it sounds like more and more are popping up. For those of you who have played in these events or just have an opinion on the matter, please post a comment as I am curious to hear if players like this idea or not. Read more…

The so called ACO “World Championships” are coming up and while this is one cool event, the ACO has found a way to screw it up. Read more…

I must say, this looks to be one cool event, but why they didn’t decide all of this two months ago and why they’re just throwing new things in a day before the event and just now telling people is beyond me. Planning makes for successful events… Read more…
