General Information.

Welcome to the Inaugural Home Town Bag Man Championships! This event promises to be one of the largest and richest cornhole tournaments in the county this year. With a lot of teams and great tournament atmosphere we anticipate an extremely exciting and fun day for both competitive and backyard players alike. All players will be competing for serious cash, as well as new boxes, bags and any number of other cool prizes donated by our sponsors. Not to mention, this year's tournament is being held in conjunction with Quincy, Michigan's Sesquicentennial Celebration, so there will be great food, live music, a classic car show, kid events including a rock climbing wall, and even fireworks!

The tournament is being held Saturday, August 23rd just west of Downtown Quincy (a short three hours from Chicago, Indianapolis or Cleveland). Doubles event check-in will begin at 9:00 with play beginning at 10:00am.

Singles play will be held immediately after the doubles event with an estimated start time of 2:00pm. In both cases, check-in and late registration will begin 1 hour in advance of tournament start times. While there may be minimum opportunity for on-site registration, because tournament size is limited, it is strongly encouraged that you pre-register to avoid missing out.

each pool advancing to a double elimination bracket tournament. Pool
play and early round bracket play format will be single match, first to
21 cancellation scoring. Semi-finals and finals will be best of three
game matches. Each team/player will be guaranteed 4 games. Official
American Cornhole rules will apply. See official game rules at:

In order to allow players to compete in both singles and doubles events, we have staggered the tournament with doubles in the morning and singles in the afternoon. We strongly encourage players to play in both events and have priced the tournament to encourage them to do
