The Race is on!
ACO is expanding fast – new regions, new players, and new sponsors are joining every day. Become the first ACO Director in your Region by locking in your spot.
ACO GridLogic is a revolutionary system used to define and assign ACO Director territories, known as ACO Grid Regions.
Built in partnership with ScoutPoint Analytics, GridLogic uses real data to bring structure, balance, and fairness to how territories are created across the country.
-
Instead of assigning zip codes or venue addresses, GridLogic divides each state into Grid Regions using a baseline 60×60 mile overlay (approx. 3,600 sq mi).
-
Each Region is analyzed using: U.S. population density, ACO player history, Known Venue availability, Proximity to ACO Majors, Past ACO Directors
-
Grid Regions may be adjusted in square mileage to account for population differences, ensuring competitive fairness and growth potential.
How to Apply for an ACO Grid Region:
-
Move around the ACO GridLogic map. Zoom in and click on an ACO Grid Region to explore.
-
Zoom in or click on a Grid Region to view the ACO Grid ID.
-
Enter the ACO Grid ID, your name, phone number, and email address in the submission form above, then click Submit.
-
After submission, you’ll receive an email with links to the ACO Season 21 Directors’ Guide and the official ACO Director Application (Check your spam!).
-
Once you receive the application, you’ll have 48 hours to complete it before the Region becomes available to others again.
About ACO Region Tiers
█ Flagship Region
(Tier 1)
Our highest-value Regions. These areas feature strong ACO presence, including high membership counts, active Directors, and multiple proven venues.
█ Elite Region
(Tier 2)
Well-established Regions with a balanced mix of population, membership, and venue availability. Ideal for sustained growth and competitive event scheduling.
█ Prime Region
(Tier 3)
Mid-sized markets with emerging ACO momentum. These Regions show strong potential for Directors looking to grow player bases and event participation.
█ Growth Region
(Tier 4)
Smaller communities with room to expand. These Regions offer accessible venues and moderate player interest, making them a great fit for energetic Directors.
█ Emerging Region
(Tier 5)
Lightly populated or underdeveloped areas with limited ACO activity to date. A good opportunity for Directors willing to pioneer new engagement.
█ Frontier Region
(Tier 6)
(Tier 6)
Remote or low-density areas with little to no current ACO infrastructure. A clean slate for trailblazers ready to build something from the ground up.
Pro Tip: Even if a Region is currently marked as “Claimed,” you can still submit the form to be added to the waitlist for that Region.
