Games played at Worlds

Blind Draws: Open to the public. All entrants are paired up at random with another player to be their Doubles partner. These occur throughout the World Championships. Ask at the registration tent.

Big Blind Draw: This is the main Big Blind Draw event at Worlds. Two divisions are played: Open Division, which is open to the public, and World Championship Division, which is only open to ACO players ranked 1-128 in the Big Blind Draw Standings.

ACO Slyder Cup: A tournament based on teams of 5 players. Two divisions are played: World Draft Division, which is based on World Singles Standings for eligibility, and World Conference Division, which is based on World Conference Standings for eligibility.

ACO Certified Official Shootout: This is a chance for all of the ACO Certified Officials (CO’s) to find out who is best! Open only to ACO CO’s.

ACO Coed Doubles: A doubles division consisting of one male and one female player per team.

ACO World Singles: The ACO division which crowns the King of Cornhole at the World Championship night.

ACO Womens: The ACO division to crown the top womens player in the world.

ACO Seniors: The ACO division to crown the top seniors player in the world.

ACO Juniors: The ACO division to crown the top juniors player in the world.

ACO Player of the Season Playoff: The Player of the Season is the Singles player with the top ranked standing at the end of the season. In the event that two or more players are tied in standings at the end of the ACO season, a playoff match is held to find the Player of the Season.

Tournament Talk

Single Elimination: The winner can move on in the tournament. The loser is finished.

Double Elimination: Same as above, but the loser gets another chance by moving into the Loser’s Bracket. Most games at Worlds are Double Elimination.

Best of 2 of 3: Players play 3 matches, and whoever wins two of the games is the winner.

Pool Play Bracket: A tournament format that breaks up competitors into smaller round robin brackets. The top finishers of each bracket advance to a Final to determine final standings. This is ideal when there are many players in a tournament.

Mini Pool Play Brackets: Small pool play brackets that are used to advance top finishers to the Champion Bracket, or advance next finishers to the Tier Pool Play Brackets. An example of this is the RPI (Ranked Players Invitational).

Tier Pool Play Brackets: These brackets are used to find the final two players who will advance to the Tier Championship.

RPI (Ranked Players Invitational): A mini pool play bracket to advance Singles players to either the Singles Championship Bracket, or the Singles Tier (2-4) Championship Brackets.
