American Cornhole is a company with the vision of taking a backyard game and turning it into a recognizable sport both nationally and internationally. American Cornhole started with the simple idea of creating a brand around a popular mid-west backyard game. It then set out to elevate the backyard game to sport status. First, it created a superior line of cornhole products to standardize the equipment used in the sport. Second, it developed a platform that set standards for: the rules, handicapping, player’s ranking system, league and tournament structure, all for consistency in the Sport of Cornhole. American Cornhole developed the Sport of Cornhole through its American Cornhole Organization (ACO) Brand. It has built a following of more than 19,000 fans and players between the Facebook and e-mail database. Over the past five years the ACO has created the foundation for a professional cornhole tour referred to as the ACO Tour. The ACO has professional cornhole players represented in twelve states across the US. Those States are; Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee.
