Cleveland Cornhole – Now Accepting Credit Cards…
Haven’t tried it yet, but this Friday if you prefer to pay via Credit Card instead of cash, you can (assuming it works, ha). There is a 3% processing fee for all swipes. So if you pay $10, the cost would be $10.30, but hey, it’s an option, right?
Last Night of Our Singles League Is This Friday
These are up for grabs as well as a bunch of cash!
Week 1 of the Blind Draw League is in the Books
The first week of the blind draw league is in the books (you can view the standings/results by clicking on Mondays/Blind Draw above). Congrats to Bob Adams and John Toohey on their weekly win in the Upper Division. Also congrats to Beau Horky, Wayne Colonna and Michelle Cahill who all went 5-1. In the Lower Division it was Tyler Thevenin and Chuck Nagy winning the weekly tournament. Tyler and Mike Burdette also went 5-1 in league play. At the end of the night every player won at least one game and nobody went undefeated, so that’s pretty cool.
If you have any feedback on the league format please let me know. I think the timing worked out so we will plan to play 6 games a week per person. You can miss one week and still be eligible for season ending prizes and to play in the season ending tournament. Everyone who plays at least 4 of the 5 weeks will be entered into the season ending tourney.
Finally, as you noticed, we have new bags. The feedback thus far has been very positive, but I realize there is an adjustment period for many to get used to them. I expect that over the next few weeks as the bags break in that they will be the best bags we’ve used in the league to date, or at least I hope that is the case and considerably less expensive (and more durable) than ACO bags. If you have feedback on the bags, please let me know that as well. Thanks.

Bags Update and Bags 4 Sale
As many of you know I was planning on moving to ACO bags come Fall of this year. However, the ACO cannot even guarantee that I can get new bags by September, so, knowing that I have opted to try BG’s latest “pro” bag and see if players like them. We will start using them for the blind draw league starting 4/15. If players give them the thumbs up, we will most likely continue to use them in the Fall. If not, I will keep the option of using ACO bags open starting September. The summer leagues will most likely use bags similar to what we used last summer (also BG bags, but used ones since we will be outdoors most of the time).
Finally, I am selling off the orange/blue bags we used in the Fall/Winter leagues. If you are interested in a set, let me know. I have 4 sets left and they are $25/set of 8 bags.

We had a ton of talent come out to the first Cleveland ACO regional of the year. In the end Ken Allen completed the sweep, first by winning doubles with Beau Horky and defeating Chuckie Love and Chuck Becker. Then in singles he held on to win it over Brandon Thevenin. Thanks to everyone for coming out, the next Cleveland ACO regional is less than 2 weeks away on 4/6 down at Mulberry’s in Cleveland.

First off I wanted to thank everyone for a great session of cornhole. 42 teams, over 90 people that participated and tons of competitive games, hopefully you all enjoyed it. If you can’t make it back for the blind draw league or summer league I hope that you’ll consider rejoining us in the Fall or come out to some of our tournaments, we will be running a couple of fundraisers coming up in Spring and Summer.
Again, the season ending tournament will be held on Monday 4/1, see you all then.
Anyway, congratulations go out to our Division winners.
