ACL World Championship
The ACL World Championship marks the culmination of a month-long series of tournaments held across the United States. Eight teams qualify to attend this weekend’s finals at Rock Hill Sports and Events Center in South Carolina – featuring over $1 Million in prize money!

Whether you are an occasional player or a professional competitor, this free app allows you to connect with the ACL community, track your scores against other players, and manage tournaments, leagues, and custom events. Available exclusively on Android devices from the Google Play store.
Once registered, you’ll receive a player profile that shows your skill level and division placement. Using this information, ACL software groups you into divisions designed for social or competitive play based on this data. While you are always welcome to “play up,” remember the differences in play styles before switching divisions.
ACL’s governing body has been actively working to uphold the integrity of the game. They have already implemented new regulations requiring players to stand at least 27 feet away from the board; their anti-doping efforts have also been increased with a testing program that enables athletes to be identified for violations without waiting for positive test results.
The ACL is an emerging sport with 50 million casual players worldwide and could expand significantly should it become part of the Olympics. Notable supporters include former NFL player Chad Ochocinco and UFC fighter Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. Furthermore, FarSight Studios has collaborated to develop a video game featuring ACL pros.

Players at ACL are welcome to bring their cornhole bags, provided they fall under ACL’s approved list. Bags must be made of plastic and cannot contain corn or other grain products; players should wear appropriate footwear and show respect towards the venue, equipment, and staff members.
ACL Local
As a sport, the ACL continues to draw new fans while satisfying existing ones. They had done this successfully by engaging their fan base through social media efforts such as “Trick Shot Tuesday,” where they showcase creative and energetic shots from all around the country to keep fans satisfied with what’s going on – an approach that helped them survive COVID-19 when their counterparts such as PGA, NHL, and MLB had to shut down.
The ACL Local tournament provides players with a regular and convenient opportunity to earn ACL points more regularly and at home, allowing them to reach higher levels of competition and qualify for regional, conference, or open events where ACL professionals can be recognized.
ACL pros hail from all across the nation. After starting as local events players, many eventually advanced to national events, where about 75% are ACL professionals. A typical national event will have around 75% ACL pros competing, traveling from San Francisco and Cleveland, Ohio, as far as Washington, D.C., to compete. Spending up to $2000 for airfare alone during each weekend. Also unique to ACL events is that players may bring their bags (which was not allowed under ACO rules). This gives players more choice and control in selecting an approachable bag when it matters most in a game with thousands at stake!
