How the Series works
One connected season for New York players: weekly Club events, monthly Region competition, two State Events and the Championships.
Welcome to the Series
The New York State Cornhole Series gives New York players one connected season: weekly Club events, monthly Region competition, two State Events and the New York State Cornhole Championships in May. It's an independent statewide organization, run by a Director Board and a Player Board.
Why play the Series
- Every weekly event counts. Club, Region and State results all feed one statewide ranking.
- Payouts you can see up front. Every Series event posts its entry fee and payout before it starts, so you know what you're playing for.
- State recognition. Season titles, jerseys and awards for New York players, without chasing a pro tour.
- Your money stays local. $20 of each adult membership goes to the Club you choose.
Levels of play
Club: weekly
The weekly heartbeat of the season. Clubs have broad format freedom (Singles, Doubles, Blind Draw, Switcholio, Swiss, Round Robin, Knockout, Tandem Doubles and other fair formats) and can run as many points events as they like. Play as often as you want: only your best 2 results each scoring week count.
Region: monthly
Once a month in each Region, with at least one Singles and one Doubles competition. You can travel to other Regions; your best Singles and best Doubles finish each month are what count.
State: twice a season
Two State Events during the season. Your better Singles finish and better Doubles finish count toward season points.
Blind Draw and Switcholio results count toward your individual points. Events need at least 6 Singles players or 6 Doubles teams to award points. Round Robin Singles counts as Singles and Round Robin Doubles as Doubles. Switcholio counts as a Singles result at Club and Region events, needs at least 12 players, and does not earn points at State Events.

| Region Doubles | Best Doubles finish each month; best 4 months count | 3 total, at least 2 in your home Region |
