West siders, I’m looking for your vote/opinion on the knock down games.  Knock down games/matches occur as soon as round robin ends each session.  Knock down games are for $20 and currently do not impact the standings, they are simply a match to try and give every team in the league a shot at getting some of their money back.  The team with the best record in round robin plays the team with the 2^nd best record.  3^rd best plays 4^th best all the way down to the last two teams.  Each match is best 2/3 games and the winning team gets $20.

I would like to know if you still like this approach.  It was also suggested to perhaps run two of them, one after round robin and one at the end of the regular season.  Each worth $10 and the one at the end of the season would also count in the standings giving you one last chance to move up and pass the team ahead of you.

Or we could scrap it altogether and add the $20 to the prize pot for the top teams in each division.

Please vote now, thanks.

I have ordered 20 sets of ACO bags.  They are supposed to arrive in November.  10 of those sets are for the league and if all goes well we will start using them for the Winter 2014 session (starting in January).  7 of the other 10 sets have been claimed by players.  They are $75/set and it would be appreciated if anyone that has ordered those bags can at least put $30 down as I am required to pay half now and half later.  There are still 3 sets up for grabs if anyone is interested (first come first served).

Finally, since the bags are very expensive and players have said in the past that they would donate towards purchasing ACO bags, I would appreciate it if the players would follow through on that and donate $5-10 per player (for those that are interested) towards the purchase of the new bags.  Obviously the new bags are a LOT of money so hopefully everyone enjoys them.

The Fall Cornhole league will again be held at the American Legion Hall in Fairview Park on Monday nights.  The Legion has been a great host and we are glad to continue to play there.  The only real concern is that there is a CHANCE that our league will grow again over the 42 teams we had in the winter.  That’s obviously not a guarantee, but it could happen.  My thought is that we can take more teams IF teams/players are ok with taking off roughly 1 out of every 4/5 weeks.  This would give players a little break during the season and would make it so that the teams that are there each night get to play more, sit less and not have to deal with fighting for a place to sit (or at least not as much).

So, I’m thinking of capping the entries at 48 teams for Fall, but I’m looking for feedback.  Please email me, text me, call me or see me in person with any concerns with this approach.  In theory perhaps 12 teams are off each week and the other 36 teams play (if we should happen to sell out).

Finally, the start date for the league is currently not known.  I had originally planned to start on Monday 9/9, but due to my back issues I am holding off on finalizing the date right now until I learn more, so stay tuned.  If you have not already registered for Cleveland Cornhole emails, please do so on the right of this page as those that are registered will get the first email about Fall League registration.
