Hello Cleveland Cornhole players, wanted to send out an email to the players to provide an update on what to expect with regards to Cleveland Cornhole leagues/tournaments this Fall and possibly beyond…

Obviously COVID has thrown a wrench into most of our lives and this has filtered down to cornhole for sure. We had to cancel the winter league 2/3 of the way through it and cancel the Spring league completely. All events were cancelled from mid-March until June and even then it was just one event in June and one in July. We lost a friend to this virus who used to play in our leagues and events (Bill Hilbish) and with that news I shut down again.

With all of that all leagues are still on hold indefinitely. I am simply not comfortable with having a league in these conditions for many reasons, a couple of which include:
1 – packing 120 people into the gym twice a week, every week, with limited to no social distancing just won’t go well.

2 – if we start a league again and then the governor shuts it down or we have a breakout of cases I do not want to go through the refund process all over again and not finish a session

So leagues are on hold. If I have money of yours and you prefer to get it now, just let me know and I will send it to you. Otherwise I will continue to hold it until we return. Once I decide to start leagues back up I will send another email and post on the website/facebook with registration opening roughly one month before we start.

I am not completely against the idea of a weekly blind draw as players would not have to commit to it every week and can skip it if not feeling well. If that happens it would likely be on Monday’s and limited to no more than 80 people each week with online registration, first come first served. If you have thoughts on that, let me know.

As far as tournaments I am planning on having the ACL Monthly Regionals once a month starting in September. I’m hoping to have it at a place where we can distance as much as possible and have fresh air, but still working it out. Other than that I am not planning on running any other events that aren’t already scheduled (I have one up in the air working with a group in Akron) until all of this is more under control.

Thank you all for your support and understanding.

Don’t hesitate to respond if you have any questions,
Dave
