Press Release Summary: 16 of the Best Cornhole Players in the Midwest will battle
for bragging rights in the Cincinnati Easter Seals Tailgate Bash Cornhole Tournament
at Fountain Square

Press Release Body: On August 16, 2008, 16 of the top 20 professional cornhole
players in the country, as recognized by the ACO CornyForty ranking system, will
compete for the $6,500.00 prize money in the Easter Seals Tailgate Bash Cornhole
Tournament sponsored by Krogers and Moerlein Lager and Ales at Fountain Square in
the heart of Cincinnati, Ohio. Cornhole is the game that has turned the country
upside down. What was a backyard game of fun has reached the level of sport bringing
Cornhole Players into Cincinnati from Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, and other
Mid Western States.

The object of the game of cornhole is to throw a bag of corn or nowadays resin
filled bags at an inverted 2’x4’ board with a 6” hole cut out. The cornhole boards
are placed 27\' front edge to front edge. Two or four players can play each getting 4
rotating throws. A player wants to score 21 points before the opponent. Scoring is 3
points for in the hole – cornhole – 1 point for on the board - woody. Your opponent
can knock your corn bag off the board or neutralize your score by throwing the same.

The Easter Seals Tailgate Bash is an Invitation Only Tournament of 16 of the ACO
best cornhole players. It is a singles tournament and the winner will go home with a
wad of cash. This is the second year for this event and the ACO - the event
organizer, anticipates a large crowd. \"Last year there wasn\'t as much of a buzz
about cornhole as there is this year. Players want bragging rights and Fountain
Square is the battleground,\" said Frank Geers President of American Cornhole
Organization. The Easter Seals Tailgate Bash offers food, drink, a Cincinnati
Landmark, and some great cornhole action. All proceeds go to help youth and adults
with disabilities and disadvantages in Greater Cincinnati gain self-sufficiency
through work.
