Are you guys ready for a new ACL season? We will be offering all FIVE skill levels – Open, Advanced, Competitive, Intermediate, and Novice! Online registration for North Georgia Cornhole Association Regional #2 will open Monday, October 14th! Please reach out to us on Facebook with any questions you have. Player memberships go on sale September 16th and will help you save money on each event - memberships are good from October 2024-September 2025!
To kick off the day, we bring you the blind draws first with a chance to get the nerves out of the way before the competition gets serious; this will be the highest payout event for each division! We will have TWO blind draws – Open/Advanced and Competitive/Intermediate/Novice. Players MUST play in the blind draw that includes the skill level of their player profile.
For singles, you must play in the division listed on your ACL profile or can play in a higher level division. For doubles, one partner will register and pay for the team. The doubles division is played to the highest level of each player. For example, if a competitive player and intermediate player want to play together, that team must play competitive. Online registration is highly preferred. Walk-up/day-of registration will be a charge of an additional $5/per player per event!
A full refund will be granted for players who request to be withdrawn from the event at least one hour prior to the advertised start time. If a player does not request a refund in a timely manner, that player will NOT receive a refund.

DIVISIONS/SKILL LEVELS
Regional and/or state directors reserve the right to move your skill level up based on performance statistics and regional/state/conference/open tournament finishes. If your skill level needs to be moved down, you must give advance notice to your regional director to make the change effective prior to the start of the regional tournament. Please read the updated Players Guide for all the new information for the 2024-2025 season, especially paying attention to the divisions and points systems (not released yet but will share as soon as it is available). There must be a minimum of 6 players/teams for an event to occur. If registration does not meet this requirement, divisions will be combined. All events are guaranteed to have Open, Competitive, and Intermediate divisions!
