The American Cornhole Organization is busy this weekend, hosting tournaments at home and away.

The ACO Cincinnati Major cornhole tournament in Fairfield offers the chance to watch some of the best cornhole players in the country play at Gametime Training Center, with a guaranteed $5000 purse for participants.

But ACO is also hosting a cornhole competition at the National Senior Games in Fort Lauderdale.

The National Senior Games presented by Humana continue through May 23, with more than 13,000 athletes from ages 50 to 100+ participating. The cornhole competition is scheduled from Friday, May 20 through Sunday, May 22 at the Broward County Convention Center.

“We’re excited to add the sport of cornhole to the impressive lineup already offered by the National Senior Games,” said Frank Geers, president and CEO of ACO. “It shows that the sport of cornhole is made for athletes of all ages.”

While most of the 22 sports offered at the National Senior Games require athletes to qualify through one of the National Senior Games Association’s 52 member games, qualifying is not required when new sports are added.
