TOURNAMENT FORMAT 

Open Singles

Open Singles will follow a two-stage tournament structure. Stage 1 will be the ACL Rounders format. This is a Progressive Round Robin format where all players are put in a pool.  4 rounds will be played by each player. The first-round opponents will be randomly chosen. For each round after the first, players will be matched up against another player with the same or similar record. 1-0 players will play another 1-0 player. 3-1 players will play 3-1 players, or similar. 

After the final round, players will be divided into 2 or 3 ‘Tiers’ (depending on the number of total players) based on the Rounders results. Tier 1 is the highest, followed by Tier 2 and Tier 3 (if applicable). Each Tier will compete in a separate double elimination tournament.

All Singles will be first to 21 (no round limits).

 

EQUIPMENT

The ACL Australia Open will be played on ACL Australia Pro cornhole sets of boards. Players can only use bags that have an ACL ‘Comp’ or ACL ‘Pro’ Stamp.

N1 Cornhole Gear will supply ACL Stamped bags for players that wish to borrow bags for the tournament. There will also be ACL Stamped bags for sale before and during the tournament.
