Introducing ACO Skins Cornhole: Elevating the Game with Excitement and Rewards

The American Cornhole Organization (ACO), the esteemed Worldwide Governing Body of cornhole since 2005, is unwavering in its commitment to advancing the sport. In its ongoing mission, the ACO proudly introduces ACO Skins Cornhole as the centerpiece of its Season 19 ACO Pro Series tournaments and beyond. Inspired by the 'skins' scoring format seen 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 enthusiasm, stating, "From the very beginning, the ACO has focused on bringing cornhole to the masses through diverse forms of competition, all 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 pitch bags together. The chance to earn skins adds a new level of excitement and friendly competition, from backyard games to the grand stage of ACO Center Court."

Recognized early on by major news outlets such as the Wall Street Journal (June 2007) and ESPN (2014), the American Cornhole Organization has been acknowledged as the organization that pioneered the promotion of cornhole as a sport and established 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. The 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 will consist of thirteen 'frames' featuring 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 cash bounty associated with them, as well as any unclaimed skins remaining. This system rewards top-tier play, aligning 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. Cornhole enthusiasts, both casual and professional, can now anticipate an enhanced experience that combines strategy, skill, and the thrill of vying for valuable skins. As the ACO continues its relentless pursuit of progress, the future of cornhole shines brighter than ever.
