Season Overview:
Cornhole Season happens on Tuesday nights roughly from Early November to Mid April during the Fall/Winter days. There is 1 pre-season practice week, 16 regular season weeks, 5 weeks off for Holidays, 1 post-season practice week and 1 all-day Saturday or Sunday finals tournament totaling 18 total weeks of Cornhole. Unlike Bocce there will be some off-weeks for the Holidays. The 3rd annual Finals Tournament will be on TBD. (Sat or Sun)
Off-Weeks during the holidays that we will not be playing are In Nov., Dec., Jan., and April.
Cornhole Nights:
For Practice nights and Regular Season nights each team must sign in on the Cornhole app to play. 65 to 80+ teams meet at 7:15pm at the back patio of Brennan’s Pub in Venice. There you will find a matchup sheet on the table just inside the entrance to the Cornhole Area, There will be 2 different start times based on having 12 Cornhole Sets. Check your start time and either jump in and play or grab a drink and wait for your match to start. After you play, log your scores on the cornhole app online then grab a seat with the rest of the league to talk some shit or drown your sorrows. Rinse and Repeat for 18 weeks. That’s what we call Cornhole League LA style.
Finals Tournament Overview:
The Cornhole Futbol Group” style Finals Tournament is in Mid April on a Sat or Sun. This is an all day tourney from approx. 10am for early bracket teams and 12pm for main bracket teams. The tourney goes to 6:30pm followed by a Finals Party at The Brennan’s from approx. 6:30pm to 9:30pm. For more tourney details see the FINALS TOURNEY tab above.

Having commitment issues?
Not to worry my friend! In our Cornhole league we have a rule that makes life much easier for all you commitment phoebes: The 50% rule… which states your team can miss 50% of the season’s games (up to 7 weeks) before it negatively effects your finals tourney ranking. During the season you need to play can play with at least two players. You can not play single. You can play with a ringer, meaning if your partner can’t make it you can bring a stand-in player for that week.
Still concerned?
If you show up less than 50% of the time, not to worry! Remember, that you can still play in the finals tourney but your ranking drops below any other team that logged more than 50% attendance.
Season dues costs $100 per team to join the league (there are 2 people to a team). This covers league expenses including (2) Corn Hole t-shirts with the rest going to our finals tourney & party.
Paying Dues:
After you register and your team is approved you will be sent an email instructing you to pay all dues online via PayPal. Payment of dues is required immediately for your team to be included in the match-ups. Please handle your business up front, secure your team’s spot in the league and stay on the nice list. If you are a team of 3 players and you all want a t-shirt and will all attend the finals tourney an additional $50 per person in dues is required.
What does it cover:
The above dues cover league expenses including (2) Corn Hole t-shirts per team with the rest going to our finals tourney & a downright Dope members only Finals Party. Party includes Dinner + Drinks plus a trophy + cash prizes presentation for the 1st ($500), 2nd ($300), 3rd ($200) place teams and Best Costume ($100) team. Additional bragging rights and trophies for Rookie of the Year, Best Team Name, Best Team Spirit, and “Baddest” Baller will be handed out as well.
You will find that in the Cornhole League the Cornhole APP is your best friend and will allow you to get matched up each week and also allows you to log your scores after you play.
Sign-In Every Week:
We make it simple to get a match each week when you sign in to play. Weekly Cornhole matches are created via the Cornhole APP online and require that your team sign in every week. If you don’t sign in you will not be matched up. So… YOU MUST go online and Sign in “YES” to get a match. If your team is not playing you still have to Sign in “NO” so we know you’re not showing up.
Say it together with me now… Choose “YES” or “NO”. Don’t just show up or leave us hanging.
Log Your Scores:
YOU MUST also log your scores in the Corn Hole APP online every week. If you don’t log scores I can’t track your attendance and adjust ranking for the tourney. If you play 3 matches and win 2 of them you should go online and log scores (ie..2 wins & 1 loss). As a backup and rule of thumb please also write your scores on the sign in sheet on the van door when you return your set of balls.
Rankings:
Logging your scores allows you to be ranked in the league. It accomplishes two things. 1) By logging your scores I know each week you have checked off 1 of the 7 minimum weeks toward not dropping below all 50% + teams for the tournament. 2) The more you win the higher your ranking and thus the better seed you will receive for the Finals Tournament. If you don’t log in when you win it doesn’t count.
This part of the Cornhole League is all about TEAM PRIDE. We look for teams to tap into their creative skillset and bring it with team costumes. There is a $$$ prize for the Best Costume.
Best Costume: Trophy + $100 prize money
If you noticed in League Dues, there’s a badass trophy and $100 bucks to the best costume during the Finals Tourney. Yeah, maybe I should have led with that. Creative Juices are in our DNA and it’s time to get your creative on. We wanna see your team bring it this year.
The Los Angeles Cornhole League was created as a way to get LA’s advertising and entertainment industry’s like-minded creative humans together during the Fall & Winter months when we aren’t able to play Beach Bocce Ball. What’s better than promising 14 more weeks of stiff competition and a chance to make life-long friendships over a weekly Tuesday night of tossing bags at a wooden board followed by a beer or two at the famous Brennan’s Pub.
Like Beach Bocce Ball, we hope that we can continue those AMAZING Tue. nights that allow our league members a chance to cure that joy we share during Bocce over the summer. We hope that we can still find the magic of Bocce’s mysterious way of pushing past the boundaries of LA/Hollywood social protocols with our New LA Cornhole league. Be prepared to find some seriously amazing life-long friends.
If you are in the LA ad or entertainment world and want to join the best league you could ever imagine, click the register button on the home page and we will see you at Brennan’s.

League members skateboard, bike, walk or drive and park in the parking lot or surrounding street parking. It’s always best to get to Cornhole early but if you are running late, please text or call me to make sure I keep your matchup. If you are later than 7:30pm most likely your match will be given away. Walk out to the turf patio, check out the matchup list and yell out your opponent’s team name to connect before getting you 4 bags.
