Cornhole is Growing Fast and Sweeping Across America
Cornhole is one of the fastest growing games sweeping across America. It may also be known as “corn toss”, “bean bag toss”, “baggo”, or “bags”, but true players passionately call it by its real name – cornhole. It’s a combination of horseshoes mixed with Skeeball and Bocce ball, but with corn/resin filled bags and boards with a 6″ hole. It’s great family fun and is an addictive game you will not want to stop playing once you start. It is great for all ages as well as men and women!
Cornhole boards have a surface area of 2 foot x 4 foot, and they gradually slope upward so the rear is 12 inches off the ground. A 6 inch hole is situated close to the back. The goal is to toss the 1 lb. corn/resin filled bags, toward the other board. The boards are placed 27 feet (front to front) apart.
Teams of two compete with four cornhole bags per person and two boards. First team to 21 points wins. A hole-in-one (aka “cornhole”) counts as 3 points, and every other bag that lands on the board counts as 1 point. Players can cancel opponents point values by earning the same amount of points in a single turn.
And when you get good enough, you can even become a cornhole professional. That’s right. The American Cornhole League and American Cornhole Organization have Pro status players. We showcase them right here on Cornhole Addicts by creating them a personal profile page which will give you a little more information about them like their preferred cornhole bags or favorite color..

I am Jr Williams ACO Pro from the Mid-Atlantic Conference and this is how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole Organization. I began playing cornhole at a family reunion in Kentucky and bought my first set of cornhole boards and brought them home and played at first just for fun at our cookouts. Then started playing in some small tournaments and blind draws for a few years which then led to playing competitively.
I am Tammy Williams ACO Pro from the Mid-Atlantic Conference and this is how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole Organization. I began practicing with my husband, Jr Williams, while he was getting ready to attend the ACO Worlds Championships, from there I started playing in some blind draws and then would play a few tournaments if someone needed a partner. When I decided to play competitively I began playing only the women’s division the first year. Then the next year I began playing all divisions and been playing strong since.
I am ACO Pro Kaleb Hurt from the Mid Atlantic Conference and this is how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole Organization. The first time I picked up a bag was at a birthday party.
I am ACO Pro Jeremiah Ellis from the Heartland Conference and this is how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole Organization. I got started playing cornhole like most people, at family functions. Then found out there was a “Professional” league. And decided to give it a go.
I am ACL Pro Jackie Sayasone from the Midwest Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I was playing at a local bar league, when I met some players that told me about a blind draw event. I thought I was good at cornhole because I was the one who always won at backyard parties or tailgates. So I showed up to my first ACL event and kind of laughed at everyone that had their own bags. Well, I got my butt whooped and was annoyed. I didn't want to see the disappointment when a player drew me, lol -so as competitive as I am, I decided to buy my own set of bags and practice on my own time. It took me a week to get it all down. Since then I just kept growing as a player. I went out to compete at the World Championships last season, there was a really strong, and special cornhole culture there, and I knew I wanted to be a part of that vibe. Eight months later, here I am! 🙂

Depends on what my opponent is throwing & what type of player they are.
I am ACL Pro Scott Watkins from the Midwest Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I played a league at a local bowling alley. I won it then I got hooked up with Kansas City cornhole. Started playing tournaments and it took off from there.
I am ACL Pro Scott Schultz from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I began playing Cornhole while I was at UCF with some of my buddies. I was hooked from there and with a competitive side from my younger days of competing in tournaments almost every weekend for bowling, I knew this was something that I wanted to pursue. I won multiple state championships in NY for high school, regional tournaments for the northeast, many finals appearances from ages 14-21, shot my first 300 game when I was 15 at the largest tournament of the year on the east coast, had numerous 300s and 800 series.. But nothing compared to bowling for a team in college and traveling the country, I bowled my first 2 years and held the highest average among rookies in the nation for a smaller school called Briarcliffe College on Long Island in NY, where I grew up. Then I moved to Orlando to join the top ranked college team in the country for 2 years. Since then, I have lived in Florida (mostly in Orlando and West Palm Beach) and recently moved to the Jacksonville area. I learned my stance and how to throw from several different people. First, John Artz and Danny Dow in Orlando showed me some things, then after a little bit, Rosie Streker taught me how to hold the bag the way that I still do today. I’d like to thank John, Danny and Rosie as well as Davis Streker for pushing me to be better. Davis was the person that pushed for me to start traveling in this game and try to become a pro. He has always helped anyone that wants to learn and get better, he spends almost all of his spare time running tournaments and helping new players! Thank you! For the past 5 years or so, I have been competing in Cornhole at the highest level against the very best players in the world. I have won and placed in some very large tournaments around the nation over the years, including an ACL national title in crew while playing on ESPN. I am happy to be an ambassador for the game of Cornhole while we are still in the pioneering stages of it becoming one of the most popular games played around the world. I earned pro status back in 2015 and look forward to continue representing this game with the highest integrity on the highest level for some time to come. Look out this year for me and my partner Dalton Mcklem in doubles this season! We’re ready to make some noise!

I am ACL Pro PJ Sarro from the Northeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I probably started like everyone else did , in the backyard at cookouts messing around over a few drinks , then my dad decided to raise money for the VFW that he worked at by having a cornhole tournament. A local board maker let him borrow boards for being able to put a table up to showcase his company in return, 2 guys showed up and cleaned up on all of us only giving up 2 points the whole tournament ( happened to be against me and my partner ). After the tournament one of those guys came up to be and said “ why haven’t I seen you around before you're pretty good” my response was “ I didn’t know cornhole was a thing outside of cookouts” , fast forward about 2-3 months I went to a byop tournament being held by the guys that let us borrow there boards, let’s just say it didn’t go to well,I then thought damn I’m not that good at this so i started to practice a little here and a little there. Until our Regional singles tournament which was a split tournament doubles were in one spot and singles was the next day on the marina where they film Wicked Tuna , so I went and played and finished 5th in singles just in the money. The hard work is starting to pay off , so I continued to play in every weekly blind draw and every tournament I can make and here I am now fast forward a year being able to sign Pro with the ACL
