1. What You Need To Know When Hosting A Cornhole Tournament
A cornhole tournament sounds intimidating and professional right? Wrong! Everybody can enjoy a
cornhole tournament anywhere. It can be played outdoors with families and friends during
barbecues, parties and tailgates. A cornhole tournament is a good and friendly way to compete
amongst cornhole enthusiasts.
A cornhole game is not just fun to play with family and friends but with other cornhole enthusiasts
too. If you want to pit your skill against other players organizing a cornhole tournament is easy
enough. It just needs advance preparation and careful planning on the part of the organizers.
Organizing The Tournament
Location for the tournament will depend on how many people want to join. If it's just a small
competition amongst family and friends then your backyard will do. But if it's bigger, something
that involves your community and other enthusiasts then a bigger venue like the local park will be
needed.
Do you want the tournament to feature doubles, singles or team matches? Decide on what kind of
format you want the tournament to be. This will make it easier to figure out the number of
equipment and officials you need during the tournament.
What is cornhole without the equipment? Make sure that you have enough cornhole boards,
beanbags and scoreboards for the tourney. If it’s a small tournament then the equipment can be
borrowed from friends and participants. It can also be purchased online from websites like
customcorntoss.com.
Now that you have the equipment, location and officials picked; it's time to advertise your
tournament. You can send out flyers and even hang banners in strategic locations around the
community. You can get more exposure by announcing the tourney on social networking sites like
Facebook. Other options for advertising include radio ads and leaflets.
The Big Day
It is important to keep track of participants during the game day so make sure that everybody
registers first before playing. This will make it easy for you to organize matches and keep track of
winners and losers. You can also opt to impose a registration fee. This can help cover expenses
and prizes for the winners.
Although rules for cornhole are flexible, having a set of rules imposed will be helpful for your
tournament. Make sure that everybody is aware of the rules of your tournament. If you're not sure
2. of the general rules of the game then copies can be found online and can be modified to suit your
cornhole tournament.
During the tournament it is important that everybody has access to equipment like cornhole
boards, cornhole bags and an official. This will keep the game play fast and organized. Other
details that needs to be overseen include prizes and awards, uniforms (optional), souvenirs and of
course the awarding ceremony.
Cornhole is a fun game that is loved by a lot of people. Organizing a tournament can help raise
funds for your cause or you can donate it to charity. Because cornhole is fun, everybody wins.
