OT Rip City Cornhole tournament

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

"The modern game of cornhole, known more commonly as bean bags or just bags in the Chicago area was likely spread after an article on how to make the boards was published in Popular Mechanics magazine in September 1974. The game spread in Chicago, Illinois, and the Northwest region of Indiana in the late 1970s and early 1980s."

I'm from NW Indiana and grew up in the 70s and early 80s and have never played a game of cornhole in my life. I've seen it played, heard of tournaments, but with less danger than Jarts and less skill than Toss Across, I never saw the point.

We had a set of Jarts that we took on all of our camping trips (much smaller than cornhole platforms and much lighter than horseshoes). My both, parents and I played every evening. In spite of playing in crowded campgrounds full of small children and drunken adults, we never killed anyone - not one!

Bring back Jarts! Darwin would approve.

Obviously, you never had to play with my brother. His release point was HIGH!! Had to run like hell more than once.

My dad put a LOT of arc on his Jarts, but he was also accurate. As long as we weren't dumb enough to run under them, we were fine.

Truthfully, the lawn dart games were pretty tame. Twilight bow and arrow chicken games were more exciting. Shoot it as straight up as possible and see who's the first one to chicken out after you lose sight of the arrow when it does it's flip and begins the descent. That's an adrenaline rush.

Yeah, my survival was based more on luck than brains.
 
Looks like the team registrations maxed out at 64 teams, and Bobby Gross is apparently on one of them. 11 a.m. start time, and the winners receive a set of Rip City 2018 Cornhole Champion cornhole boards.

Are you ready, @Chris Craig??

Gross...damn...its on. I'm ready!!! 64 teams
 
I could beat anyone at this game!!!!
My eye hand coordination is off the charts!!!

Not gonna play though.
Id have to make fun of myself and i don't do that. Ever.

Weren't you doing that each time you attempted to 'troll'?
 
Also, all team captains are being sent an e-mail providing sign-in times and rules.

Haven't got the email yet but sign in time is 10:30
 
Attempt? Attempt???? There is no attempt in trolling. I'm a master troller. I don't attempt, I just do! We are talking attempt?

If no one knows that is what you are doing can it really be called trolling?
