Big Rig's World Record Cornhole Tournament

It's time to come together and break the world record for the largest cornhole tournament in the world. Currently, the Guiness Book Of World Records has recorded that the largest tournament ever to be recorded had just over 320 players. Together ... we can beat that! More than just a world record, this event will draw the community together for a fun filled evening of competitive cornhole ... for all ages, and all skill levels.

We are aiming for 500+ players. Nobody will get knocked out until we are down to the playoffs at the end. We will start off the evening with everyone simulaneously involved in a SINGLES style, SINGLE KNOCKOUT tournament. That means that after the first round of games, 500 will become 250 ... then 250 will become 125, etc. However, if you lose (and 99.9% of people eventually will lose), you will advance to the backside, where everyone starts with 10 chips in their pocket. Every game, you'll get a new partner. If you win, earn a chip from the losers. If you lose, give a chip to the winners. Then, get another partner, start up another game, and earn your chips one game at a time. We'll try to pair up those with a low chip count with those with a high chip count in order to keep the backside games balanced and competitive.

When the knockout tournament gets down to the final four, we'll tally up the chips to set up a few rousing matches for the top four teams of the backside. This is when things start to get exciting. Before we go into the final matches, we'll let the best cornhole players on the field take a stab at several other cornhole world records, including longest cornhole shot, most cornholes in the hole in one minute, and more. Whether you win or lose, you will be a part of world history as a bonified player in the largest recorded cornhole tournament in the history of the world.

The Cause

The most important cause of this event is our community. To break this world record, we need each other. In the process, we'll be raising funds and awareness for several organizations that specifically dedicate themselves to improving the rough edges of our community, as well as around the world. Stay tuned for more information.

FAQs

Can I buy one of the world record breaking cornhole sets?

Yes, we are planning to make more than 100 custom, special edition cornhole boards specifically for this event. You can take home a piece of history and have a backyard game that will bring endless fun to your friends and family. Professional quality boards with professional quality bags (used ONE NIGHT, in the reord breaking tournament) will be available for $300 each. If you plan to host your own tournaments in the future, we recommend you have one cornhole set for every six people involved.

Can I buy a T-Shirt and hat?
