I have been getting e-mails and phone calls about our event for this year.  I have not set up registration yet and will have it set up after the KHSAA State Tournament.  Registration will be done on Trackwrestling and will be done at remote weigh-in sites.  There will be an on-site weigh-in from 6:30 -7:00 pm on 03/10.

We are looking forward to a great turnout this year.

Hey Parents. 

Tired of just sitting around waiting for your athlete to wrestle?  This year at the Julian G Finley Memorial Tournament we will have a Corn Hole Tournament for the parents. 

A tournament will be held each session so there will be 3 chances for you to compete, with the winning team splitting the pot with the KWOA. 

There will be an entry fee of $5 for an individual or $10 for a team.  Individual entries will be randomly paired with other individuals as they register. 

This will be a single elimination tournament. A bracket will be filled from the top down as teams register. First come, first serve. 

This is not a professional tournament. The boards may not be regulation size or distances. 

There will be 8 sets of boards available so the tournament should go fairly quickly.

Rules:

  • 2 Players per team
  • 1 Bag in the hole = 3 points
  • 1 Bag on the board = 1 point
  • If a bag touches the ground before coming to rest on the cornhole platform, it is a foul and must be removed from the cornhole platform prior to the continuation of play.
  • Points are canceled if opposing team makes the same play in the same round
  • Players must keep both feet behind the front of the board when tossing
  • The team to score the most, throws first in the following round
  • Players must alternate throws, one side at a time
  • Each game will have 15 minutes max
  • First team to 21 or the team with the highest score at the end of time wins
  • Each team must be present to submit the winner to the volunteer/score table
  • If bag is knocked off the board at anytime during the throw round the point does not count. If the bag is knocked in the hole by either team during the throwing round the points count.

If anyone needs to buy cards the morning of the tournament, you will have to contact me directly for registration after pre-registration ends.  if you don't have a card, you will not be able to pre-register. 

I would highly encourage everyone to purchase a card online before pre-registration closes tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m.  After that you will have to call me to get registered. 

Please make sure you or on site to check & in pay at least one hour prior to your scheduled time to wrestle, which is indicated on the flyer.
