American Cornhole Organization (ACO) Introduces ACO Skins Cornhole to Elevate Season 19 ACO Pro Series

The American Cornhole Organization (ACO), a globally renowned governing body of the sport of  cornhole since its inception in 2005, remains dedicated to the advancement of the sport. In a pioneering move, the ACO proudly unveils ACO Skins Cornhole as the centerpiece 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 and create more exhilarating opportunities for players and enthusiasts alike.

Frank Geers, the visionary Founder and President of the ACO, expressed his excitement about the new format. "Since its inception, the ACO has been committed to bringing cornhole to a broad audience through various forms of competition, while upholding standardized rules and equipment specifications. ACO Skins Cornhole represents the next stride in providing families, friends, players, and professionals with an unparalleled cornhole experience. The introduction of skins adds a new dimension of excitement and friendly competition, from casual backyard games to the grand stage of ACO Center Court."

Throughout its history, the American Cornhole Organization has earned recognition from major news outlets like the Wall Street Journal (June 2007) and ESPN (2014) for its pioneering efforts in promoting cornhole as a legitimate sport, complete with standardized rules and equipment specifications. As a testament to their dedication, the ACO is gearing up to host the 2023 ACO 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, aligning with the ACO's longstanding mission."

With the introduction of ACO Skins Cornhole, the ACO aims to elevate 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.
