Thanks to the 49 players that participated in the first ever Northeast Ohio Cornhole Championships!  This was an invite only tournament that invited the top 64 players in our area to attend and compete for the title.

8 players voted on the players and the players were ranked 1-64.  Of the players that attended the top overall player was paired with the lowest ranked player to form a doubles team.  Then the 2nd highest player paired with the 2nd lowest, etc…  Each team then pitched an SCR to seed themselves in the bracket.  This format made for some amazingly close games and SCR scores!  I think it worked out great and the doubles tournament may have been my favorite of all-time… In the end the team of Jeff O’Heron and Tim Haywood double dipped the team of Ken Allen and Rick Kuhn to take home the title.

After that we held the singles tournament.  Again, each player pitched an SCR to seed themselves in the bracket.  Adam Hissner came in as the favorite to win this event and he didn’t disappoint.  He was the #1 seed with the highest SCR and didn’t lose a game along the way.  Ken Allen finished 2nd by winning 7 games in a row in the losers bracket.  Brandon Corwin 3rd and $G-Money$ finished 4th after he won 7 games in a row in the losers bracket as well.

Full details below.  If you didn’t qualify this year, keep practicing!  We’ll do it again next year, estimated March 2015.
