“Eight members of our club attended the Canadian Cornhole League (CCL) Ontario Provincial Cornhole Championship last month. We had members compete in ladies singles, open doubles, mixed doubles, open Singles and the Elite 64 tournament. Competitors from CCL Leagues across Ontario came to participate in these events, which allows players to be able to compete against other players they would not normally get to play against. The competition on July 19-21 was tough in all events and in all skill levels from the social player to the competitive player. Eight of our members qualified for the Elite 64 tournament which randomly paired them with another Elite 64 player to play in a doubles format double elimination tournament. 

“Our members had a good showing for our first time attending an event like this, even producing a Provincial Champion in Darel McRae (Tier 5 social).”
