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!
