ACL Points System Explained

ACL Points System Explained

The ACL Points System for 22/23 Season



If you are like most, you are completely confused with the new 22/23 ACL Points system. We are going to break it down for you so that you know exactly what you need to do to get maximum points this season, even if you are not looking to be a pro. Much of this information can be found in our ACL Players Guide article but it is mixed in with all the other info and we feel this should be separate to make it easier to understand.



Player Divisions



ACL Points are earned based on which event you are attending and also the skill level or division you are competing in. Here are the following divisions the ACL offers, but not all divisions can be found at each event. If there are not enough people registered for any division for that event, you may be forced to play in a higher division but you can never play in a lower division. The skill levels/divisions are as follows: Novice, Intermediate, Competitive, Advanced, Open and Pro. If you would like more information on each level, check out the Players Guide.



Where Can I Get ACL Points?



If you are new to the ACL then you may not be aware of the opportunities to get points. ACL points can only be earned at ACL Events such as Local, Regional, Conference/State Championship and Open events. It is best to check with your local league organizer or director to find out where and when these events will be held in your area. Another great source is to check Facebook. There are also special events specifically for ACL Pro players, but, we are not going to go into those because for this article, we want to focus on you, the average player.



This season, many leagues have jumped onboard with the ACL to run Local events and give their players opportunities to get points regularly and closer to home. Many players will have to travel to attend the bigger events like Regionals, Conferences and Opens. If you have hopes and dreams of becoming an ACL Pro, you need to find and chase the ACL Points!



How Many ACL Points Can I Get This Season?



The maximum amount of ACL points you can get this season is 5,000. Here is the breakdown of the maximum points per event. Once you max out on points for that event, I believe you can still attend but if you win, you will not receive points and robbing someone else of their points.



- Local events: 450 points

- Regional events: 1,200 points

- Conference/State Championship: 800 points

- Open events: 1,200 points

- Bonus points: 1,000 for your membership and 350 if you attend 50+ ACL events!

Points Breakdown By Event



Much like any point system, the higher division you play in and the higher you place, the more points you will earn. So, look at the charts below based on what division you play in and how many events you think you can attend throughout the season to see what your max can be.

Cornhole Addicts Bags: Addiction & Fixation

Image
After 2.5 years, we have officially launched our own lineup of Cornhole Addicts bags. We currently offer 2 great options. The first in the series is called Addiction and it was release at the beginning of March. The 2nd bag is called Fixation and it was just released on 3/21/22. Cornhole Addicts Bags: Addiction For the past 2.5 years we have collected a lot of data on our website in an attempt to find out what exactly people want in a cornhole bag. Taking all that info into consideration and looking at the bag market, we find there aren't many options for a slower bag. That is where the Cornhole Addicts bag Addiction came from. This bag is a slow bag with speeds rated at a 2 and 4. This is a great bag for beginner throwers who want to build their confidence without worrying about a fast bag flying off the board. The Addiction features a suede side with a speed of approx 2 partnered with a slightly faster weave material with a speed of approx 4. The bag weighs 16 oz, has a smaller

Playing The Ghost is Great Practice

Image
What is the best practice routine? We get this question asked many times a week, “what is the best practice routine for cornhole?” What a hard question to answer because honestly, it’s different for everyone. It really depends on what you need to work on. But playing against the Ghost is a great place to start. Practice is meant to help you hone and refine your problem areas and make you better at whatever you do. Every cornhole player has different areas they need help in, so every player should have their own routine. But man, throwing bags over and over, back and forth with no goal can be boring! That is what makes this great and gives you a goal to work on improving. Sometimes, you just want to play a game against other people but it's not always easy to find someone with the same skill set. You need someone on the same level as you. It gets old losing every game to someone more advanced and at the same time, it’s boring beating someone that is not as good as you. So who is goi

Dominate the Mental Aspect of the Game

Image
Negativity Breeds Negativity No doubt, cornhole is a mental game and we are going to help you dominate! Someone once told me, it is easier to pull a man down the ladder then help him up the ladder. I have been in a terrible slump, until last night. Probably the worst slump I’ve ever been in since I learned how to throw a flat bag eons ago. I couldn’t do anything right. From 3 off the back, 1 on the board, missing wide open shots for easy points, to missing the board by 2 feet. My opponents joked that I could win a farthest from the hole contest. The other night while playing $5 cash games, my neighbor, the tumbler took $70 and a set of bags off me. Each and every time I got on the boards things just seemed to get worse and worse. Show up to league and go 1-12, one more rung down the ladder. It got so bad, I stopped setting up the boards to practice. Heck, I didn’t want so show face at league night and worse yet, I lost the motivation to write articles for Cornhole Addicts as those were
