Skill Levels:
ACL Divisions & Skill Levels
The ACL matches players based on CPI skill level, so everyone gets a fair shot and a fun game. As you grow, you can move up.
📈 CPI = Cornhole Performance Index —The CPI is the ACL’s official player rating scale, ranging from 1 (lowest) to 12 (highest). It offers a precise, dynamic measure of your performance beyond traditional skill levels.
📈 PPR = Points Per Round — the average number of points you score per round in a game. It’s a key stat in determining your progression.
In doubles, each player must individually meet the maximum CPI requirement. The CPI is not based on a combined team average.
Players DO have the option to play up at Regional, State & Open events.
