The New York State Cornhole Championships
Where the season ends. Here's how to qualify and what's up for grabs.
Qualifying for the Championships
Your home Region is the Region you live in. You can play Region events anywhere in the state, but at least 2 of your qualifying Region Singles and 2 of your qualifying Region Doubles must be in your home Region.
To qualify for your class's Singles and Doubles events at the Championships, you need a current membership and these minimums. That's about 40% of the season's Club weeks and half the Region months, so regular players qualify without attending everything.
Team play
- Region team events: during the season, Clubs field 6–8 player teams at team events in each Region.
- Club Team Championship: at the Championships, Clubs compete for the Club Team Championship. Roster details are coming soon.
State Events and the Championships
State Events
Two State Events during the season (dates TBA). Your better Singles finish and better Doubles finish count toward season points. Class events: Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 Singles and Doubles. Women's, Senior and Junior events run at both State Events, and both results count toward that Circuit.
