Cornhole is a similar game to horseshoes, except players use wooden boxes called cornhole platforms and corn bags instead of the traditional horseshoes and stakes. When competing, the participants take turns throwing their corn bags towards the platform, and the first contestant to reach 21 points wins the match. A corn bag in the hole nets three points, while one on the platform is worth one.
It provides excitement for the fans because the lead in each showdown can change frequently before the ultimate winner is decided. The prizes offered in Anaheim include $1,500 for the ACO World Singles title and a guaranteed $1,000 purse for the ACO World Doubles champions. In addition to this, the World Singles competition will have a cash payout to the top 16 players, while the World Doubles will have a cash payout for the top four teams.
The cash prizes are made available by Cornrox by Vibes Audio, which offers Bluetooth sound systems in the boards allowing players to pitch to their favorite songs.
The tournament will be held at American Sports Center, America's largest indoor court facility. Fans looking to attend the event can also benefit from local amenities like Disneyland, local craft alcohol spots and a wide range of food options.
Frank Geers of the American Cornhole Organization said: "California is becoming a real hot spot for the sport of cornhole and we are pumped to be part of this phenomenal experience."
Full details of the upcoming major can be found on the ACO website, which also has videos, photos and news and media coverage to get interested parties ready for the event.
