ACO Introduces ACO Skins Cornhole: Revolutionizing the Game of Cornhole with Exciting Format

The American Cornhole Organization (ACO), the esteemed Worldwide Governing Body of cornhole since 2005, remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing the sport. In its ongoing mission, the ACO is proud to introduce ACO Skins Cornhole as the focal point of its Season 19 ACO Pro Series tournaments and beyond. Drawing inspiration from the 'skins' scoring format popular in golf, disc golf, and curling, ACO Skins Cornhole aims to revolutionize the game.

Frank Geers, the visionary Founder and President of the ACO, expressed his excitement, stating, "Since the beginning, the ACO has been dedicated to bringing cornhole to a wide audience through various forms of competition, while maintaining standardized rules and equipment specifications. ACO Skins Cornhole represents the next step in creating more opportunities for families, friends, players, and professionals to gather around cornhole boards and enjoy the game together. The addition of skins introduces a new level of excitement and friendly competition, from casual backyard games to the grand stage of ACO Center Court."

The American Cornhole Organization has gained recognition from major news outlets such as the Wall Street Journal (June 2007) and ESPN (2014) for its pioneering efforts in promoting cornhole as a sport and establishing standardized rules and equipment specifications. As a testament to their dedication, the ACO is gearing up to host The World Championships of Cornhole 18 in Owensboro, KY, during the last week of July 2023. This highly anticipated event will attract the world's top players, competing across multiple divisions for a staggering prize pool exceeding $75,000.

Geers further elaborated on the ACO Skins Cornhole format, explaining, "The format consists of thirteen 'frames' with single-direction pitching. Each frame carries a value of one 'skin' along with an assigned cash bounty. The first player to secure seven 'skins' will not only earn those seven points but also claim the associated cash bounty, as well as any unclaimed skins remaining. This system rewards exceptional play, in line with the ACO's longstanding mission."

With the introduction of ACO Skins Cornhole, the ACO aims to propel the game to new heights of excitement and competition. Both casual and professional cornhole enthusiasts can anticipate an enhanced experience that combines strategy, skill, and the thrill of vying for valuable skins. As the ACO continues its unwavering pursuit of progress, the future of cornhole shines brighter than ever.
