The ACL (American Cornhole League) promotes and develops cornhole as a sport for any age and any skill level. The organization establishes the rules and regulations to govern the sport around the world. The ACL is divided up in conferences based on the area you live in. The conferences are as follows:
SouthEast – NorthEast – Mid-South – Atlantic – SouthWest – Mid-West – Carolina – Mid-East – Mountain South – Mountain North – West – NorthWest – Mid-North – Great Lakes
With the start of this 2020/21 season, the list of ACL Pros has been confirmed. These players have prequalified to become an ACL Pro by either finishing in the top 160 in Overall Standings during the previous season or they finished in the top 16 in their respective ACL Conference. This season we also have a select few applicants who were accepted into the division as well. There are over 230 ACL Pros for this 2019/20 season of cornhole.
The ACL Pro competitors will compete for $250,000 in guaranteed prize money this season. In addition to the ACL Pro Doubles division last season, Pros this season will also compete in Pro Singles and Pro Blind Draw Divisions completely exclusive from Advanced level competitions at the National level. Full details on the Pro Division are listed here, as well as information on qualifying for the 2020-2021 Pro Division.
Anyone Can Play and Anyone Can Win.
If you are looking to become a an ACL Pro, here are a few suggestions to get you going in the right direction. First thing you need to do is get out of the backyard and compete in local tournaments against some of the best players in your area. When you are ready to take it to the next level and hang with the big boys (and girls), it is best to become a member of The American Cornhole League (ACL). They have events all around where registered players compete for points in order to make it to world final tournaments.

Emory Parker
ACL Pro for SouthEast Conference
Emory Parker
ACL Pro for SouthEast ConferenceI am Emory Parker ACL Pro from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. Went to South Bend, Indiana when I was 11 for a Florida State - Notre Dame football game. I had never seen cornhole before that and immediately fell in love. Upon returning home I built a set of boards with my Dad and it became a staple at our tailgates indefinitely. After graduating from Florida State, I moved to South Florida where I was looking for ways to meet people. I ran across South Florida Cornhole and went out for my first tournament that night. The rest was history as I began traveling out of town for tournaments and competing against the best in the state, and eventually the country.
As much as I love competing, for me Cornhole is all about the people you meet. Everyone has so much fun and enjoys being around one another. I cannot say enough about the people I have met from this game AKA "my cornhole fam."

Trae Kelly
ACL Pro for Atlantic ConferenceI am ACL Pro Trae Kelly from the Atlantic Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. My brother and grandfather got involved in the sport a little before I did. They were introduced to the game and then found a tournament at colonial downs. The tournament held 128 teams. They finished top 10 and got invited to some local blind draws at the sportsman. After a couple weeks of hanging out and watching I decided to pick up a bag and play. I hate to admit it at times, but I was the guy they everyone shook there head when they drew. Who knows, people may still shake there head when they draw me. From then I got involved in some national leagues and now I'm here; making memories and leaving a footprint on the cornhole society.

My favorite aspect about this sport is the amazing people it has brought into my life. It’s not just a group of people, it’s a family. When I first started at a local bar as no more than an amateur, the crowd welcomed me and approached me with tips and advice to help my game. Now from there I’m on the pro circuit looking to be a world champion. Outside of that though my main hobbies are softball and fishing naturally since I do live in Florida. Without cornhole I honestly do not know what I would do on the weekends or even during the week anymore. At this point, I couldn’t imagine not playing.

Greg Collins
ACL Pro for West Conference
Greg Collins
ACL Pro for West ConferenceI am ACL Pro Greg Collins from the West Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. Started playing competitively in 2018 at the age of 58. I Live in the Central Valley of California, in a small farming town called Escalon. I work in the Director of Sales for All West Select Sires which provides genetics to dairy and beef producers. In October of 2018, my wife, Tamara saw on Facebook, her friends, Maybelle and Paul Abplanalp playing cornhole and inquired to when and where. That night we joined up with the Manteca league and we haven't looked back since. I remember my first Regional tournament in West Sacramento, it flamed a desire to really build my game. We would often drive into the San Francisco Bay area to play in locals and regionals with ACL pro Blake Demale, Nick Renevitz, Ken Jones and Brett Holland all highly skilled players, they pushed my game. 2019 I competed in my first King and Queen competition in Madera, CA and also went to Spencer McKenzie's Throw Down and placed well in the lower bracket partnering with Raymond Thomas. That was my first experience around many pros, it was very inspiring. In November 2019, I played at my 1st conference in Las Vegas and was noticed by Richard Morgan and a couple months later Mark Pryor invited me to play as part of Team Ultra. I then went to my first National in Florida in January 2020. Then Covid hit and messed up the chase for many of us. I went to Cleveland only to have it cancelled. I did go to the Final Chase, in Rock Hill.
20/21 is my first year as a pro. Mark Pryor, Ultra Cornhole will be sponsoring me this season. The bags I throw best and most are Widow-B's because of the two sided options they give you. Slick side is fast but not to fast and the slow side gives a soft landing block. I will be teaming up with Rudy Ai to make our chase. We both started within 6 months of each other and live only about 45 minutes apart. We regularly play in the same clubs together, many times we have partnered and are at most all Western conference events together. We approach the game similarly with solid steady heads and a never give up resolve .
I have never believed in luck. I believe you develop your game by playing smart, practicing hard and competing against challenging players. It's fun. That's why you'll hear me say "Have fun" at the start of a game. I use the Bible verse Proverbs 27:17 as my motto "As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens the countenance of another..." I try to do this all day long not only in my game but in work and relationships also. So there you have it a little about me.

Justin Stranger
ACL Pro for Atlantic Conference
Justin Stranger
ACL Pro for Atlantic ConferenceI am Justin Stranger ACL Pro from the Atlantic Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I am a high school student and a professional cornhole player. I’ve been playing for approximately 3 years.
I partnered with Shawn Smith in the Pro Doubles Division for the 2019-2020 season. I am partnering with Tony Smith in 2020-2021 season.
I got my start like most people did, playing in my backyard with my dad on bouncy boards with corn bags and sometimes at breweries my dad liked to visit until someone from his work invited us to play some blind draws. In August 2017, my dad and I started plays $5 blind draws with handicaps on Monday and Thursday with Carroll County Cornhole run by Brian “Fitz” Fitzsimmons. That is where I met my cornhole mentor, Bob Mallonee, who is also going pro this year. Once I started mastering some of the basics, my dad and I started playing in tournaments, mostly in social divisions, if they had them. Around 6 months in, I started to get pretty good and people were asking my dad if I could partner with them. I started having some successes, which included placing in and winning events. I then heard about COBS and really wanted to go. My dad kept saying “let’s see.” In June of 2018, there was a local tournament called “Jack Taylor” that had juniors. My goal was to win that and prove to my dad, I should go to COBS. I came in second. However, I played in the competitive division with a another non-pro and we finished 4th in a group that included Timmy Pitcher, Leston Allen, Frank Modlin, John Kitchin, Jordan Camba, Jay Corley and other high level players. After the event, my dad said we were going to COBS because even though I was not happy with my junior’s performance and seemed down, my dad was proud of me for fighting back, never quitting and playing hard in a stacked division. I went to COBS, went 3-2 in Junior’s singles. My dad and I met a lot of good people, got a lot of advice and I fell in love with cornhole.
So we decided that in 2018, I should focus on the ACL and the Junior’s division. In my first month of the season, I was fortunate enough to be able to play a Regional with ACL Pro John Kitchin (still one of my favorite players), who I thank for taking a chance by playing with an unknown 14 year old. Early in the season, I had quite a bit of success in singles and doubles early in the season with Zach Owings, which helped each of us start to show our skills. I wanted to root him on at the ACL National College Championships that December, so my dad went on a search for someone to play with me, since Zach could not. He was able to get Seto Soto to play with me. We did pretty well and it enabled me to play against some top level players that I had been admiring.
During the rest of my first ACL season, I generally partnered with very good advanced players and ACL Pros, which included Ryan Smith, Dylan Wood, Matthew Morton, Leston Allen, Eli Stevens and my now Pro partner Shawn Smith. I capped my year off by winning the Junior’s Championship and on the way home, my parents and I talked and decided it was time to let me go Pro. So, here I am, an ACL Pro. I am looking forward to playing a sport I love, being an ambassador for the sport and teaching other to play the game, like the players in my cornhole club I just started at school.
Oh and just so you know, I still play some tournaments with my dad and I still play with Carroll County Cornhole, but we’ve gotten rid of handicaps because there is no need. There are great players there that challenge and push me. If you’re ever in my area, I recommend coming out to play with us on Tuesday nights! (Once COVID restrictions are over)

After college I moved to Idaho where I started seeking out any and all cornhole tournaments and leagues. I went Pro in the 2019-2020 season under the Mountain North Conference. I then moved to South Carolina and am returning as an ACL Pro for the 2020-2021 season.

When I was fourteen years old I picked up a cornhole bag for the first time. I was at Redneck Riviera. A place where people drive boats to hangout and play cornhole. To nobody’s surprise I was beaten badly by Nick Ramsey and Chuck Martin, two local legends. I became motivated to improve my game and purchased my first set of cornhole boards. This led to practice, practice, and you guessed it more practice. Here I am four years later an ACL pro and serious competitor in every tournament I attend. I could not be more thankful for this opportunity.

My younger brother Matthew introduced me to cornhole, and we began playing in the backyard for fun until I started losing. Things got competitive, which led to the search for local tournaments. I attended a tournament with my uncle and quickly realized that I needed to practice, practice, practice! Fast forward a year later, and I was traveling and playing seemingly every weekend with Matthew. We played a season together on the circuit finishing in the top 20 before he attended college to play baseball. The following season I partnered up with Tyler Poythress and we had instant success, winning two nationwide events and placing in several large cash tournaments. Tyler and I are currently still partners and having success in the ACL. Tyler and I won the Advanced Doubles division in St. Louis MO, won our Advanced Doubles bracket in Ft. Lauderdale FL, and finished 2nd in our bracket to Jimmy McGuffin and Josh Lunsford in Pro Doubles in Maricopa, AZ.

Tyler Bockholdt
ACL Pro for Great Lakes Conference
Tyler Bockholdt
ACL Pro for Great Lakes ConferenceI am ACL Pro Tyler Bockholdt from the Great Lakes Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. When I was 18 years old I met Vince Pacione through friends of friends in high school. I overheard someone talking about playing bags over the weekend and stopped and asked where because I love to play in my backyard. Alspa told me about a weekly blind draw (totally foreign to me at the time) that happened every Monday night just 20 minutes from my house. This was not an ACL event, rather one sided bags and bouncy boards but it was all I knew! Later when I saw all the talent at this bar, I found out that a lot of these players played nationally and at other establishments almost every day of the week!
This is when I met Vince Pacione at the bar called Katie O’Connor’s (presently called Backroads). Winter came and I didn’t play for a couple months but got a text message from Vince that there is an indoor event that he’s starting and he wanted to see me there! I went for the first time on _______ and it wasn’t until then out about double sided bags and what the ACL was. I bought a set of bags from Rob Bev, he sold me Reynolds Pro Edge Speeds for $20 as a gift for being an aspiring newbie in the game.
Finally found myself playing weekly and then traveling a little more to other blind draws over the week. When I got my own set of boards I wouldn’t stop practicing until the street lights came on and I was ready for my first regional.
Since then it’s been about a year, moved from competitive (for only 2 regionals) to advanced ever since, playing against some of the best in the Chicagoland area.

ACL Pro for Carolina ConferenceI am ACL Pro Holden Hales from the Carolina Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I started playing cornhole locally about 5 or 6 years ago and found a passion for cornhole about 3 year ago and decided to start playing in bigger tournaments. I decided to try out a few ACL regionals and began to meet more and more people. I have had to balance sports and cornhole ever since i started playing and now as my first year as a pro I am finally able to play cornhole with nothing else in the way.

Josh Bordelon
ACL Pro for SouthWest ConferenceI am ACL Pro Josh Bordelon from the SouthWest Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. Playing in the backyard early Summer of 2018, I decided it was time to search for some tournaments in the New Orleans area only to find that their really wasn’t much competitive. I decided to start my own league (GNO Cornhole) and it has taken off over this past year. Since then, I have traveled to a couple Conferences and Nationals to gain experience and improve my game to achieve enough points to qualify to be an ACL Pro. I am grateful for the ACL for giving me this opportunity and look forward to many great experiences along the way to improving my game as a Pro.

I got into cornhole when I was in high school. I heard that my teacher was good at the game and I thought to myself, I could beat him. Well needless to say, I lost many times. But this is how I got hooked because I just wanted to get better. One day I finally beat him but now I wanted to go another step further and play competitively. My teacher, John Moran, started showing me all the blind draws and tournaments going on in my area and the rest is history. I love to play against the best there is and I am always tying to improve my game.

ACL Pro for Mid-South ConferenceI am ACL Pro Bret Guy from the Heartland Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I got started playing cornhole when I was 11 years old. My dad (Matt Guy) was practicing in my grandpa's barn one day and I walked in to see what he was doing. I asked him if I could throw with him and I picked the throwing style up pretty much immediately and have been playing ever since. Formerly an ACO Pro, I switched over to an ACL Pro for this 2020/21 season.

Tyler Stephenson
ACL Pro for Carolina ConferenceI am ACL Pro Tyler Stephenson from the Carolina Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. Like a lot of players, I began playing cornhole in the backyard on a homemade set of boards. I would play at family functions, college get together's, and any other social gathering. It wan't until a few years ago that I decided to start playing competitively. I began attending local blind draws and playing local tournaments with my dad. In 2017 I decided to play our local ACL Regional and then stepped up to Conference events in 2018. During the 2018-2019 season I moved up to advanced, attended my first national event, and and started to get the feeling of what it was like to compete at the highest level. I decided to become an ACL Pro for the 2019-2020 season to have the opportunity to compete against the best cornhole players in the world.

Curtis Kearns
ACL Pro for Atlantic ConferenceI am ACL Pro Curtis Kearns from the Atlantic Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I started playing back when I was 15 just like most people at backyard BBQ's. From there I ventured into my first blind draw at a local Buffalo Wild Wings at the age of 17 and I got lucky enough to draw a guy named EB Marsh, the best guy in there at the time, and we ended up finishing second. From then on I was in love with the game. I stayed with the local blind draws for the next 6-7 years and never really ventured off and traveled. I had stared to become one of the best in my area so last year I decided to take on the pro circuit and try to make a name for myself across the country. I ended up Finishing 56th overall In the 2018-2019 season. Time to improve on that in seasons to come!

ACL Pro for Mid-West ConferenceI am ACL Pro John Fuentez from the Mid-West Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I think I started with just playing at family gatherings. We always got the 3 ft. boards and corn bags out. Then a guy started a wiffleball league in my hometown and between games we always played bags. After that people started actually having tournaments here and there. I was cutting my partner Adrian Knappers hair one day in the barbershop. He said he wanted to try it out about 2 1/2 years ago. I think he practiced almost every day for a year, took his beatings in the game, got way better. He went to his first tournament with one of our buddies Jacob Nance and then me and Adrian started traveling last November. And here we are now. ACL PROS!!!!

ACL Pro for Carolina ConferenceI am ACL Pro Eric Ryder from the Carolina Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. Back in 2009 I was invited to a friends house for a cookout. He had some cornhole boards made and pulled them out and explained the game to me. I had never heard of cornhole prior to that day. We played all afternoon and I was hooked. I bought my first set of 2x4/plywood Red Sox boards with corn bags and started playing in the neighborhood with neighbors. Soon heard about a tournament that Trey and I would play in and get our butts handed to us. We met some good players and learned about throwing a flat bag and resin bags and how there were tournaments every week in the area. It was at that point I knew this was a game I would be playing for a very long time.

Jackie Sayasone
ACL Pro for Mid-West ConferenceI 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! 🙂

Frank Modlin
ACL Pro for Carolina ConferenceI am ACL Pro Frank Modlin from the Carolina Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I started playing about 10 years ago. We were camping with the family down on the Outer Banks of N.C. I saw some guys playing a game I had not seen before. They asked me to join them. I was hooked immediately! My wife ordered me a set of boards for my birthday and I started practicing!
My buddy Steve McCombs and I would throw for hours on end. I heard there was going to be a tournament in a neighboring town close to us at a festival they were having. So, Steve and I decided to go! We were nervous to say the least. We both are super competitive and did not want to embarrass ourselves. It was a small tournament with some local players there, but you would have thought it was Worlds for us. Long story short, we won the tournament, and made some really good friends that I am still friends with today!
Oh yea, I met my buddy George Cowand from Midway NC at that tournament. We ended up becoming great friends and traveling and playing a lot of tournaments in the local area. We had quite a few wins together! Well, this only fueled my desire to get better and play bigger tournaments. So, I started searching for tournaments outside my area and traveling more. I found out there was “organized cornhole“ that had point systems and rankings. I knew right then that I wanted to play competitively and see where I stood against some of the higher-ranking players. I definitely took and still take my share of losses. But I have really enjoyed the successes I’ve had along the way. I have made so many friends in this sport! I enjoy the fact that I can basically travel anywhere in the US now and run into friends. That is so cool to me. And no matter where we travel, the people always make us feel welcomed! I now travel and play the pro circuit with the American Cornhole League ran by commissioner, the legend himself “Stacey Moore”! He along with awesome his staff members run tournaments throughout the US and are now stretching out beyond our borders! The National tournaments can now be seen on several major TV networks like ESPN, ABC Sports and NBC Sports. I recently was fortunate enough to make the first ever USA National Team!! How cool is that to be able to represent your country doing something you genuinely enjoy!! I have been truly fortunate throughout the years and have the support of my wife, my daughters and their now spouses and my extended family.
I’ve got some of the best sponsors anyone could have with representing great companies like AllCornhole, AAR, Dirty Bags Cornhole and The Jersey Guy! You guys are the best and I can’t thank you enough! I also am VERY fortunate to have the best fans ever!!! I am truly thankful for each and every one of you!!! One last thing because I know I went way to long with this, lol! I have been fortunate enough along with the help of Chad and Emily Littlewood with AllCornhole, bring to life a bag concept some of you may have heard of called “Gamechangers “!! This has been such a cool experience! To have something that you are a part of to be liked by so many of your peers is truly humbling. The family of supporters for Gamechangers are absolutely phenomenal!! I appreciate each and every one of you! It is such a honor to hear the compliments about Gamechangers! Thank you all!! It really means a lot to me!! Well ok, I think I am going to end it there. Hopefully, I didn’t ramble too much. I just get carried away when I start talking about everything that I love about this sport!! Best of luck to you all and I hope to see you soon!!

I hate losing more then I like winning. But I come from a from a baseball background, I pitched my entire life and the most important skill in pitching is developing muscle memory, and I also feel that is the most important skill in cornhole. If I’m not playing cornhole I’m probably out playing golf somewhere.

Matthew Morton
ACL Pro for Atlantic ConferenceI'm 17 years old and started playing cornhole in Driver, VA with my dad when I was 11. We played $2 blind draws for fun with all the money going to charity. I loved playing and it gave me and my dad a chance to spend a lot of time together so we started going to different places for blind draws. After I started doing well, we started playing in the organized leagues and traveling for some bigger tournaments. I eventually decided to become an ACL Pro last season so I could play regularly against the best competition in the world.
I had a great year in my first season as an ACL Pro, with some really great finishes and getting to appear on ESPNs first ever live broadcast of an ESPN event in the Pro Doubles World Championships. I’m looking forward to another great season in 2020!

Pj Sarro
ACL Pro for NorthEast ConferenceI 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

I went to the University of Louisville and I began to play at tailgates. My friends and I are extremely competitive and this is where the love of the game began. I always wanted to be the best and began practicing at home to get better. I saw an ESPN broadcast in the summer of 2018 and started going to local ACL events to try and compete. The inner drive to become the best keeps pushing me to improve my game each and everyday.

It doesn’t cost much to play and all the money goes to charity and you win a metal instead of money. It keeps the game fun and is for a good cause. I started going out there with my dad and that’s where I found love and a passion for the game. I’ve only wanted to get better ever since.

Cornhole for me began on Camping trips where we would run mini tournaments and I wasn’t sure what I was doing. I quickly picked it up after finishing playing college baseball as I needed something to feed my competitive side of me. After playing competitively for almost 2 years, I decided to get my pro card and test my skills against the best.

I didn't even know what cornhole was until a little over 6 yrs ago when I met my husband, Mike Kitzmiller. His family would play the game during family picnics. About 6 months later we found a local random draw tournament at the Moose and after that I was hooked. We started playing more and more and I start to get better. The better I got the more competitive I got as well. I am a very competitive and hate to lose. I have been playing competitively now for 3 yr. The 2018/19 Season was my 1st full ACL Season and I enjoyed every minute of playing and meeting new people all from all over the country.

Drew Brown
ACL Pro for SouthEast Conference
Drew Brown
ACL Pro for SouthEast ConferenceI am ACL Pro Drew Brown from SouthEast Conference the and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player at the American Cornhole League. I grew up playing baseball year round in high school. I was a very aggressive pitcher/3rd baseman and had a passion for winning all my life. During my senior year I contracted mononucleosis and was told by doctors that it was the worst case they had seen in almost 35 years of practice. I went from 155 lbs to 125 lbs in just over a month and they rushed me to the hospital twice within that month to be sure I was getting the right amount of fluids. I also missed my last month of my senior year of high school but I was fortunate enough to be released on the day of graduation and was given the "OK" from doctors to attend the ceremony. After high school I went on to play college ball at Bethany College, but quickly knew I didn't have the strength that I once had. In an effort to focus on my health and devote more to my studies, I transferred to a school closer to home. I needed something to keep my competitive edge going and that is when I turned to cornhole. My cousin, Wes Phillipson, brought boards to our thanksgiving dinner one year and needless to say I was very much a beginner player. He beat me in every game that we played that year and I there was only one way I knew how to respond. PRACTICE. All winter long and through the summer I practiced everyday, even tying the chandelier to the banister with a rope in my mom's house when it was cold out so I could play indoors. I wanted to make sure at the next family function I wouldn't be able to be beat so that I had bragging rights at the dinner table. Sure enough my dedication paid off. So much so that I thought that I was one of the best in the state at that point taking down local tournaments in my hometown. After that I started googling tournaments and I would take my buddies CJ and Jake Blanchard to play cornhole across the state just to play in tournaments. That was when I ran into the unstoppable duo of Matt Guy and Randy Atha in Dublin Ohio at the Irish festival. They beat us 21-0 but I quickly received word on who these two were in the cornhole world. That was who I wanted to be. This is where a new chapter began and my search to become one of the household names in cornhole started. I knew I had a lot of work to do to get where I needed to become one of the best. During one of my google searches, I found a tournament in West Virginia and got introduced to my good friend, Ted Dillon. He is the one that I give a lot of credit to, for he was the first person to take a chance on me as a player and be my partner. It also helped that he ran an abundance of regional tournaments where I slowly started to meet and play against today's most familiar faces. Now after over 10 years of playing against the best in the world, I believe I am ready to prove to everyone that I have what it takes.

John Kitchin
ACL Pro for NorthEast ConferenceI am ACL Pro John Kitchin from the NorthEast Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I started playing cornhole in Philadelphia, PA during tailgates at professional sporting events. I was approached by a co-worker who was interested into getting me out to his local league on Tuesday Nights where they played $5-$10 Blind Draws. I instantly feel in love with the game and what competitive cornhole seemed like at the time. After I started doing well, I branched out playing in the more organized leagues & tournaments which led to traveling nationally to test myself against the countries best.
After 1 year of traveling, I found myself in a position to qualify as a Pro in 2016. After two seasons I made the jump to becoming an ACL Pro. I’d classify my years as an ACL Pro to be currently successful in regard to accolades but was fulfilled the most by representing our small section of the cornhole world and setting the example that truly “Anyone can play, anyone can win”.
CONGRATULATIONS to John for winning the 2019 Devour Man of the Year award!

ACL Pro for Mid-East ConferenceI am ACL Pro Brandon Corwin from the Mid-East Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I started playing about 12 years ago while home on leave from the military. My buddy asked me to play some Cornhole with him and immediately I had the same response as many others when first asked to play Cornhole “WTH is wrong with you?” LOL. After figuring out what he was talking about I was hooked. We eventually started a blind draw league at our local tavern in Mansfield, Ohio when I finished my active duty stent. I learned very quickly that I had a hell of a lot of work to do because I was getting my butt kicked. Being super competitive in no matter what I do, I started training if you will? I would play in as many blind draws and local tournaments that I could find as well as play in the back yard as much as possible. That eventually got me to where I’m at today. I am a third year ACL Pro and 2018-2019 ACL Pro invitational champion. I’m ready for this years action.
IT’S GO TIME!!!

Scott Schultz
ACL Pro for SouthEast ConferenceI 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!

Jay Rubin
ACL Pro for Great Lakes ConferenceI am Jay Rubin aka Jaybirdie Bird ACL Pro from the Great Lakes Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I started playing cornhole in backyards, alleys, and bars here in Chicago 10-11 years ago. For about 2 years I would play in a local country station tournament but usually got destroyed in the sweet 16. Took 6 years off due to not having a partner. I showed up at a local tournament in Villa park back in 2015, and beat a really solid team that was well known. That victory opened up all the avenues I needed when it came to finding a partner. My first 2 years I would go to 5-10 local type of tournaments a year to get a sense of what I was really up against. During that time frame, I realized I had a lot of work to do if I wanted to be considered one of the best. 2 years ago I figured out how to throw a flat bag, which immensely helped my slide game. After that I started working on pushing, step outs, covering/blocking, airmailing, and the strategic side of the game. Once I had a good feel for all the tools needed to be successful, I decided to give the ACL a shot. In my first season I finished 25th in singles, and 36th in the overall rankings. During the summer of 2018 I elevated my game even more by winning several $1000-$3000 tournaments, while taking down some of the best players in the game. Some of my biggest accomplishments so far this season is 13/13 in regional singles, won a conference doubles, and a National in advanced doubles on ESPN. I'm currently competing for the $10,000 devour player of the year title, and also for player of the year in the ACL season. Still have a lot of work to do in order to accomplish either. Looking forward to seeing what the next 10 years brings me in my career!

I broke into the winning column a lot after my 1st year winning just about everything I entered with my, then, partner Anthony Vaughn. Since then I have traveled all over the West to play bags and show what the 805 has to offer. This is going to be my 1st year as an ACL Pro and I can wait for it to begin!

Started playing at 10 years old (now 21) at my family's river house. My dad noticed roughly 75-100 people playing every Friday and Saturday night. He asked me to play and before we knew it we were running the boards. About 5 years into playing, Doug Gasser from a league in Richmond VA saw us playing at the river and recommended we start playing competitively. We did. That year I was a top 10 juniors player in the nation in the ACO. After that, I stopped playing competitively and just played at week to week tournaments for fun.

ACL Pro for Atlantic ConferenceI am Shawn Smith ACL Pro from the Atlantic Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I started playing competitive cornhole in 2016 in the ACO and switched over to the ACL in 2017. In 2016 I also introduced my brother Ryan Smith to cornhole at the competitive level. During the 2016-2018 seasons, I never played in enough tournaments and wasn’t committed enough, to really see how good I could be. So basically, I never played a full season until the 2018-2019 season in the ACL. So at the end of the ACL World Championships in 2017-2018, I committed myself to play in 1 regional a month, 3 conference events and 2 nationals for the following season. I started finding time on my lunch breaks this past season to work on stance, grips, follow through and just getting as many reps as I could in 30 minutes. If I had a couple hours on the weekend to practice, I would get it done. My 3 year old daughter, 5 year old daughter and wife are really important to me, so I couldn’t commit to more tournaments than I did. I still was able to finish ranked #103 in the nation overall (without maxing out in local points) for this past season and proved as an advanced player, I can throw with the pros and anyone ranked top #160 in the nation.

Robert Sperry
ACL Pro for NorthEast ConferenceI am ACL Pro Robert Sperry from the NorthEast Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro.
There are many words to describe Robert Sperry, but the best suited are tenacious, passionate, and experienced. At 51, “Bobby” as most know him by, is not only a father and step-father to seven children, he is a grandfather to 12 grandchildren as well. By day he is a plumbing estimator while at night he fluctuates between being a cornhole clinic instructor, woodworker, huntsman and fisherman, as well as a devoted family man. And that doesn’t also account for other cornhole leagues and tournaments he attends regularly as well. With most of his family still living in Virginia where he grew up, Bobby always makes time for them and visiting them every holiday and free weekend he can. Bobby is always moving, creating, and leading forward. He never gives up on the things he loves, and always finds the time to be there when others rely on him.
Bobby aspires to continue to hone and craft his cornhole skills in hopes to become a top player in the country and from there, turning his passion and tenacity for the sport into a full-time career. He has already made a name for himself, winning multiple tournaments in the United States as well as Canada which led him to gaining a Canadian bag sponsorship. Bobby’s love of the sport reaches beyond just playing, into an enjoyment for the comradery between players as well gaining more knowledge about how to be a better player as well as teammate. He is always looking for ways to exude his excellence as well as be a top leader in the sport. Two things he has proven time and time again that he can execute extremely well.
Robert Sperry is driven by passion and dedication, to not only the sport of cornhole but to everything he sets his heart and mind upon. And time again he has proven his leadership skills and abilities to guide the next generation of players to come. This drive will bring him to the top of the player roster before we know it, so keep an eye on him moving forward.

I started playing cornhole at my apartment complex when I first moved in. It was basically... you pick a partner and you stay on the boards as long as you were winning. One day, someone came to the pool and said there were tournaments here and if we are good enough that we should check them out. I went to the first couple and watched but quickly became enthralled with the game. December 2018 was my first real tournament. The rest is history. I was hooked and playing as much as I could play daily and weekly.

Paul Hardie
ACL Pro for SouthEast Conference
Paul Hardie
ACL Pro for SouthEast ConferenceI am ACL Pro Paul Hardie from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. Like everyone, I started playing in the backyard and BBQ’s. I always have been athletic and played all sports, then a good friend of mine Kevin McCord got a set of boards and challenged me to this new game and just kept beating my Butt. So he made me a set of Michigan CH boards and beating me didn’t come that easy anymore. I knew nothing about tournament CH and about 3 yrs ago, 2017, I saw a blind draw at a local bar called Mugs and Jugs (the home of CornHole Life/CornHole USA) and did pretty good in it. I also met some great people like Kevin Smith Jr and Tex Christman, who told me about the ACL and how they traveled all over playing and said I should come check it out. So I did and played in all Regional's, Conference’s and Nationals. But I did not play 1 competitive level game ever. I always played everything in the advanced level from the start and like with Kevin McCord, I got my butt whooped by them but managed to put together some great tourneys with some awesome finish’s

Tom Walter
ACL Pro for Great Lakes Conference
Tom Walter
ACL Pro for Great Lakes ConferenceI am ACL Pro Tom Walter from the Great Lakes Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I started out like most people, playing cornhole (or "bags as we called it) in my back yard or up at my cabin with corn filled bags against family members. I was always pretty good at it so I joined a local league and then entered my first ACL regional where I quickly discovered I really wasn't that good. Sure I was competitive, but it was very apparent that I was not in the same ball park as the local studs! However, I became hooked on the ACL and with the regional competition and I slowly but surely improved to where I began winning or placing high in most of the tournaments I entered. I then began going to the ACL nationals to compete and became even more hooked on the game. I have been fortunate to be able to retire from my job several years ago which has allowed me more time to practice - and that certainly has improved my game as well. I am truly a living example of the ACL's saying that "Anyone can play and anyone can win".

Cameron Pressley
ACL Pro for Carolina Conference
Cameron Pressley
ACL Pro for Carolina ConferenceI am ACL Pro Cameron Pressley from the Carolina Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I started playing cornhole a little over 3 years ago. My entire family would go to local blind draws and I could ever partake due to work. I finally left that job and got to go and never looked back after that.
