July 17-20 Florence,Kentucky JULY 17-20 FLORENCE,KENTUCKY THE AMERICAN CORNHOLE ORGANIZATION Business Vision American Cornhole is a company with a vision of taking a backyard game and turning it into a recognizable sport both nationally and internationally. To clearly understand what that vision is, think Nascar-meets-Nike. American Cornhole started with the simple idea of creating a brand around a popular mid-west backyard game. It then elevated the backyard game to sport status. First, it created a superior line of cornhole products to standardize the equipment used in the sport. Second, it developed a platform that established standards for: the rules, handicapping, player’s ranking system, league and tournament structure, and created consistency in the Sport of Cornhole. American Cornhole developed the Sport of Cornhole through its American Cornhole Organiza- tion (ACO) Brand. It has built a following of more than 20,000 fans and players included in Face- book and e-mail database. Over the past ve years the ACO has created the foundation for a professional cornhole tour referred to as the ACO Tour. ACO has professional cornhole players represented in twelve states across the US. Those States are; Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennes- see. The game is very popular in backyards and is recognized as the number one tailgating game around the country. It goes by a number of names from baggos to bean bag toss. Along with the rise in popularity of the game there has been an explosion of commerce across the country selling cornhole equipment: Internet stores, such as cornhole.com; brick and mortar stores, such as Walmart; and the handy-man building units in his garage and selling to friends and family. We Are Cornhole. We live and breathe these words in everything we do for the sport. We're not only about product. We work diligently to provide the best overall cornhole experience. Our passion for cornhole is represented in our product, our events and our brand. We believe the harder we work to provide this experience and the more people become engaged with our passion, the better we position ourselves as the recognized authority in the sport. The mission of American Cornhole during the next three years is to solidify its claim on the Sport of Cornhole. The ACO has created an organization of players across America that aims to grow from 20,000 ACO Cornhole fans and players to 100,000 ACO Cornhole fans and players by the end of the 2015 Season. The company expects 10,000 active card carrying players to be part of that mix. Cornhole has the potential to have a larger presence than bowling worldwide which currently boasts over 25 million fans and members. The next leg of our journey starts here at Turfway Park, Florence, KY, with the ACO World Championship VIII and Kenny Mayne’s TV show, “Wider World of Sports.” © 2012 American Cornhole, LLC www.AmericanCornhole.com©2013 American Cornhole, LLC SCHEDULE of EVENTS WEDNESDAY, JULY 17 EVENT SCHEDULE FRIDAY, JULY 19 EVENT SCHEDULE RPI Singles King of Sling (Social Singles) 8:30AM Courts Open – Check In Begins 8:30AM Courts Open – Check In Begins 9:30AM Check In Completed 9:30AM Check In Completed 10:00AM Play Begins 10:00AM Play Begins 4:00PM Singles Play Complete 4:00PM Singles Play Complete World Doubles Tournament 12:00PM Check In Begins RPI Doubles 1:00PM Check In Completed 4:30PM Check In Begins 1:30PM Play Begins 6:00PM Doubles Play Complete 5:30PM Check In Completed Social Doubles – Micro Tournaments 6:00PM Play Begins 4:30PM Check In Begins 10:30PM Doubles Play Complete 5:30PM Check In Completed 11:00PM EVENT DOORS CLOSE 6:00PM Play Begins Open courts and beer can be found at Holiday Inn Airport 9:00PM Doubles Play Complete Queen of Cornhole – Micro Tournaments 6:30PM Check In Begins 7:30PM Check In Completed THURSDAY, JULY 18 EVENT SCHEDULE 10:30PM Singles Play Complete 11:00PM EVENT DOORS CLOSE Open Singles Open courts and beer can be found at Holiday Inn Airport 8:30AM Courts Open – Check In Begins 9:30AM Check In Completed 10:00AM Play Begins SATURDAY, JULY 20 EVENT SCHEDULE 4:00PM Singles Play Complete Shoots out to immediately follow between Top 4 finishers in King of Cornhole (Pro Singles) 8:30AM Courts Open – Check In Begins Open Singles and 17-24 place finishers in RPI Singles – Top 9 Frame 9:30AM Check In Completed Games advance to fill final field of 64 in King of Cornhole and will be 10:00AM Play Begins seeded 56 through 64 based on their score. 4:00PM Singles Play Complete Social Doubles Tournament Open Doubles 9:30AM Check In Begins 4:30PM Check In Begins 10:30AM Check In Completed 11:00AM Play Begins 5:30PM Check In Completed 2:00PM Doubles Play Complete 6:00PM Play Begins World Corporate Cup 10:30PM Doubles Play Complete 12:30PM Check In Begins Shoots out to immediately follow between Top 2 finishers in 1:30PM Check In Completed Open Doubles and 9-12 place finishers in RPI Singles – Top 4 Frame 2:30PM Play Begins Games advance to fill final field of 32 in King of Cornhole and will be 7:00PM Doubles Play Complete World Game Playoffs seeded 29 through 32 based on their score. 5:00PM Top 10 Finalists 11:00PM EVENT DOORS CLOSE Championship Games Open courts and beer can be found at Holiday Inn Airport 7:00PM World Games Finals 7:30PM Queen of Cornhole 8:15PM World Doubles Merchandise Booth Operating Hours 9:00PM King of Cornhole Closing Ceremony – Photo Opps – 10:00PM 4pm-8pm WED-FRI 11:00PM EVENT DOORS CLOSE 1pm-6pm SAT Open courts and beer can be found at Holiday Inn Airport CLOSING PARTY!

  • Paige: Pat Bowlen Is One of Colorado's Most Important Sports Figures
    Paige: Pat Bowlen is one of Colorado's most important sports figures By Woody Paige The Denver Post July 23, 2014 This one's for Pat. After his birth 70 years ago as the son of a Canadian wildcatter and a steadfast Wisconsinite, Patrick Dennis Bowlen never stopped skating, swimming, skiing, biking, hiking, competing and running. He ran as a youngster so he could play football and hockey. He ran the 440 in track in high school. He ran wind sprints and pass routes trying to make the University of Oklahoma football team. In his 20s, Pat ran his own law firm. He later would run several of his father's businesses, then run an independent oil and gas and natural resource company he started. He passionately ran hundreds of miles a week. He ran the New York City Marathon in 3 hours, 3 minutes. He ran, biked and swam in two Ironman events on the Big Island of Hawaii and finished 137th, then 135th out of a thousand entries, the majority half his age. Then before stepping down as owner Tuesday because of his battle with Alzheimer's disease, he ran the Denver Broncos for 30 years to six Super Bowls and 307 victories with only five losing seasons. He ran the franchise to two Super Bowl championships and the pinnacle of prestige, pride and power in the National Football League. He ran the campaign to get, and help fund, a new stadium for Denver. He ran first in the race to keep John Elway in Denver as a quarterback and make him the highest-paid player in the NFL, to bring Elway back to the organization as the chief of football operations and the effort to bring Peyton Manning to Denver.

  • The Newsroom's Toy Department: the Different Images of Sports Journalists in Films
    The Newsroom’s Toy Department: The Different Images of Sports Journalists in Films By David Sobieraj The Newsroom’s Toy Department Sobieraj 2 ABSTRACT Sports are a major part of pop culture. Sports are not just games that athletes play; they are a way of life. The roles that sportswriters and broadcasters play in the movies are a microcosm of the roles they play in real life. Most movies that include sportswriters as characters portray them as a myriad of anonymous fictional journalists who act more like paparazzi than news reporters. These characters flash cameras and yell out questions to sports stars. When real-life journalists portray themselves in bit-part roles, they are sometimes portrayed as caricatures, mocking the role of sportscasting as well as themselves. In contrast, actors who portray real-life well-known journalists and actors who play fictional sports journalists in major roles in a film take on the role of sportscasters who believe their job is to inform the public about star athletes. Moreover, the manner in which women sportswriters are depicted in films reflects the manner in which they are viewed in the real world. In summary, the journalists that cover sports in movies portray the same roles that they take on in the real world. Some are just paparazzi, looking for the latest dirt on well-known athletes. Some don’t take themselves seriously and see their job as more entertainment than hard news. Finally, some do see their role as investigative journalists who bring to light important information on the star athletes that they cover.

    Bckgrndr2003.qxd 7/24/03 10:19 AM Page 1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Backgrounder Finally! College mascots are no longer relegated to toiling in the background unappreciated. Gone are the days of working their feathers, fur and tails to the bone in the shadow of flashy All-American quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. At last, these unsung heroes of the college gridiron have their own national stage … their own place in the sun. In 2002, Capital One kicked off a new college tradition with the inaugural Capital One All-America Mascot Team, elevating 12 college mascots to the pinnacle of “mascotary.” (Yeah, we know that’s not a real word.) In a quest to honor these unsung heroes, the company sent out a call for nominations to all of the nation’s Division IA and IAA athletic programs with college football teams. From a list of contenders, a national panel of mascot aficionados chose 12 talented mascots to be members of the first Capital One All-America Mascot Team. Judging was determined by how well the mascots interacted with fans, good sportsmanship and community service. Being named an All-American came with its fair share of perks – the photo shoots, a national advertising campaign featuring ESPN personalities, the parties, the mascot groupies and the cash. Plus, each member of the mascot team received $5,000 for its school’s mascot program. But the Capital One All-America Mascot Team was only the beginning. The 12 mascots were then embroiled in a fierce battle to claim the most coveted title in all the mascot land – Capital One National Mascot of the Year.

  • Artclass Signs Director Shaun Collings
    ArtClass Signs Director Shaun Collings 04.10.2021 Bicoastal production company ArtClass has signed Director Shaun Collings for representation. Collings' work includes projects for Under Armour, Acura, General Mills, Oculus, Nike, TaylorMade, and ESPN, the latter of which included the deepfake-style spot for the network's Chicago Bulls docuseries The Last Dance, featuring sports broadcaster Kenny Mayne. As a director at ArtClass, Collings will focus on commercials, promos and branded content for linear and digital platforms. "Shaun and I go way back, so it has been fun watching him grow into the director's chair after having established himself as a sought-after creative director," said ArtClass Executive Producer/Partner Geno Imbriale in a statement. "His eye for design translates well to framing a live-action scene and finding those little details behind every great story. His deep understanding of the VFX and post process is also a huge asset as we are constantly looking for ways to elevate our pipeline and create more efficiently. He brings great passion in the process. I know because we've pulled off some impossible projects together." "Geno has been a true friend and mentor who has helped shape my career as a director," said Collings, also in a statement. "He and [co-founder] Vincent Peone have built ArtClass into a forward-thinking company when it comes to content creation-one that's finding new methods, bringing a diversity of voices and representation to the table, and really flourishing going into 2021. They're known as being incredible creative problem-solvers and I wanted to get on this rocket ship." Collings freelanced with ArtClass prior to joining the company.
