Thank You
I wanted to thank everyone who helped make last night happen. Thanks to Michelle and Jim for taking the equipment and running the evening. I threw this at them at the last second and I know it was a challenge, but sounds like things went pretty well. I do ask that you PLEASE cut everyone some slack when I’m not there and please know that when I’m not there, what Michelle/Jim says, goes. They are in charge.
Also thanks to the guys for unloading and setting up and everyone who helped tear it down.
Sadly I am not optimistic that I will be able to make it next week either, but I will hope for the best.
If you have questions/concerns, please call/text me at 440-570-5701
The standings have been updated.

Asking for Help
For those of you attending either tournaments that I run or the league, due to a serious back issue I will not be able to set things up for quite some time, or unload, or put things away. Any help with any of this is greatly appreciated. On Mondays I’ve had a lot of help from Bryan Stadnik, Bob Bunevich, Travis and Howie unloading and Dan Wolf, Michelle, Christine, Darnell and others when putting things away and it is greatly appreciated. Any help with this going forward would be great, including tonight.
Thanks, Dave
Final Singles Night Results
Week 2 of the Blind Draw League
I’m sensing a trend… In Division I John Toohey won for the second straight week, this time with Stacia Pugh as they defeated Dan Wolf and Brett Lyons in the finals. Christine Papcke and Brandon Thevenin pulled out the 3rd place game over Bryan Stadnik and Tim Haywood.
In Division II Tyler Thevenin won again, this time with Bob Bunevich as they defeated Mike Burdette and Alan Skotko in the finals.
Overall the ladies are at the top of the list in Div I with both Stacia and Michelle at 9-3. In Div II it’s Mike Burdette and Tyler Thevenin ahead, both are 11-1.
2 weeks down, 3 to go.
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.
