I'm doing a little bit of catch up, from October 16th. This is a cornhole tournament to benefit the wounded warriors program. I fully support David's cornhole endeavor's, because he does pretty good in them. He's placed in the top 3 in every tournament he's played in. Plus, they're fun for all of us!
Here's all the boards set up in the parking lot before the start of the tournament.
Our crowd. At times the entire table was full. We had friends coming and going throughout the 8 hours we were there.
Round 1
Analyzing the competition
Riley received LOTS of attention
A little in between, just for fun action

More analyzing, this time over Redskins/Panthers game tickets
The bearer of good news. This guy relayed to Bill and Amy that they had won the silent auction for the Redskins football tickets. The Nam Knights chipped in to help make this happen. What made it extra special was that Bill was set to deploy in two weeks. The game was the following weekend. He took his teen-age son, and I'm told they had a fantastic time.

Our only complaint were the boards used in the tournament were not American Cornhole Association regulations. The thickness of the boards used were much thinner than regulation, causing the boards to bow and the bags to bounce off of them. The boards were made by Creekside Cornhole. Not only were their boards thinner than regulation but they had their own team in the tournament. Now first prize got a custom set of Creekside boards. It just didn't seem right that the people co hosting the tournament were also playing, taking out other teams. Most of the teams were unhappy with both of these issues and I'm told that first placed actually turned down the boards. Having said that, we still had a great time. The Ale House was a great host, though not as good as the Southern Pines VFW, I"m told. I guess the beer was super cheap there! David and Jason, his partner, placed 3rd.
