ACL Cornhole Bags

American Cornhole League Bags

With all of the new players getting into cornhole these days, new leagues forming all over the country, and so many cornhole bag options now on the market, selecting your new set of cornhole bags can bring about a lot of questions about bag selection.

Cornhole bag selection generally comes down to a few variables:

  • Bag Speed
  • Materials used on the fast and slow side
  • Fill is pretty standard across the board with resin pellets as the de facto bag fill 
  • League / Organization affiliation - this is the one which brings up the most questions

The American Cornhole League (ACL) puts on local, regional, state, conference, national, and professional cornhole tournaments throughout the country.  Within each of these tournaments, players are assigned a level which they are to play in at each tournament.  From Novice to Pro there is a division for any and all cornhole players, and your ranking is based on your past tournament performances.

Within each of these ACL tournaments, bag selection ranges far and wide.  But, the one thing that each and every bag used within the ACL must have now is the ACL insignia printed on the bags indicated that cornhole bag manufacturer has provided sample bags for that season which have been tested and approved for play at ACL tournaments.

Cornhole Bags can be designated as ACL Recreational, ACL Competitive, or ACL Professional bags.

Below is a listing of what each designation is intended for:

  • ACL Recreation bags are designed and used fun, non-competitive cornhole games
  • ACL Competitive bags are for bags which are designed and used in tournament play by recreational up to advanced players.
  • ACL Professional bags are used by ACL Professional players and required for play by ACL pros when they compete in any ACL tournament.  These are the same bags you will see shown on TV featured on ESPN, CBS, along with the ACL digital network.
