NCCC, NHSCC, Pro Shootout #1, ACL Open #6 & ACL Pro Team Draft Recap!



What. A. Weekend. Even though I had 101 other things to work on this week, it just didn’t feel right missing the 2nd ACL Teams draft. I shot down to Myrtle Beach late New Years Eve, just to be here and soak it all in on New Years day. WOW WOW & WOW, what an improvement for 2023! The 16 newly designed cornhole Pro Teams logos and jerseys look amazing! The ACL leveled up this year for sure. This thing is evolving fast and it will only grow from here!


The American Cornhole League outdid themselves with the packed full New Years weekend they put together. On top of the excitement from the National College Cornhole Championship (NCCC)  & The National High School Cornhole Championship (NHSCC), we also had the first pro shootout of the season, Open #6 AND The 2nd Annual ACL Draft.

THE DRAFT


Lets talk ACL Teams!  The ACL really stepped it up this year with the draft. Definitely had pro football draft vibes and we were loving it!  It was great just to get to observe and be a spectator during the live draft and loved seeing the dedication and passion from the ACL Staff as well as the Teams themselves. 

This season there will be 2 divisions, American Division and National Division. Under each division there will be 2 regions containing 4 teams each for a total of 16 teams.
