| August 21st, 2010 2nd Annual Stout Cornhole Open 10am-6pm (-ish) @ Garden Home Park (MAP) - Portland, Oregon Congrats to the 2009 Champions: Cooter & Meghan Runners-Up: Alden & Jenny FAQ 1. What is cornhole? Simply put, Cornhole is a game that involves tossing a bean bag into a hole about 25 feet away. For more on the game please refer to http://www.americancornhole.org/ 2. How are teams for the tournament assigned? This is a co-ed tournament meaning one male and one female will make up each doubles team. You can form your own team or sign up as an individual and you will be paired up with a member of the opposite sex. Please realize that I cannot guarantee all individuals entrants will be paired up and entered in the tournament, but I will do my best. 3. How much does the tournament cost? The entry fee will be $10 per person (or $20 per team if your math skills aren't quite there). 4. Will you be providing anything? Unlike 2009, I will not provide any food or beverages. I have lowered the entry fee to compensate. We WILL still have a couple of grills set up so all you will have to do is find some grill space and cook your meat (and/or veggies). 5. How much can I win? This will depend on a lot of factors, more on that once I have a better idea of how many teams we will have. 6. Will there be any other ways to win money in the tournament? Yes! Any individual player who throws a "four-bagger" (4 bags in the hole in one turn) wins $5. Any $5 payouts are drawn from the final winnings purse. 7. What about the adult beverages? I will secured an alcohol permit for that day so you are more than welcome to bring your own cooler full of the barley sodas and white wine spritzers of your choice. I will not be providing any alcohol because of OLCC laws which would make me liable for more than I care to be. BYOB. ** No kegs. No hard alcohol. And PLEASE, be responsible. Not just at the park, but on your way home. Carpool, taxi, bus, bike, appoint a designated driver. Let's have fun, but let's also be safe and respectful! 8. Can I bring my kids (or my dog, or my second cousin or...)? This is intended to be a fun family atmosphere, so, absolutely, kids are more than welcome. Your dog is welcome too, though if you have a dog that prefers barking, whining, biting, etc. as opposed to chilling out then it might be best to leave him/her at home. Any friends and/or family are more than welcome to come out and check out the action as well. 9. Can I come and not play in the tournament? Of course! The more people the merrier. 10. How will the tournament be structured? In 2009, we had three sets of boards. We had 18 teams (36 total participants) and each team played three "round robin" games which were scheduled randomly. The top eight teams after the round robin round were then seeded (by record first, then by point differential) and played best-of-three series' until a winner arose. Expect something similar in 2010. 11. I know some people who would probably be interested in playing in the tourney, will they be able to? Probably. E-mail me and most likely we can get 'em in. 13. I love cornhole! Why hasn't anyone ever written a song and video about it?? They have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io8X4pz_QJ0 |
