Why Cornhole AC

Cheaper than indoor. On the Boardwalk. Bring the kids.

No other league within an hour offers a beachfront setting, food and drinks on site, and a place for the kids to hang while you play. Here's what every team gets.

A boardwalk, not a warehouse

Play at sunset on the Atlantic City Boardwalk with the ocean at your back — an experience the indoor facilities can't match.

Food & drinks on site

Concessions run inside the EIC every league night, plus a private restroom — so you're set for the whole evening.

Kids play too

Supervised gaming inside at $5/hour means parents can finally commit to a league. We hold up to 20 kids per night.

Real standings, live

Every game scored on Scoreholio with QR check-in, live brackets, and division standings you can follow on your phone.

Weather: light conditions, we play. Rain pushes that week to a built-in make-up date, and the EIC interior is our backup gathering spot. We post calls by 3 PM on CornholeAC.com and email.

Good to Know

Questions, answered

Monday or Thursday — which do I pick? +

Whichever fits your week. Both nights run the exact same format, season, and pricing — they're two separate leagues, not a two-night commitment. Pick one at registration, or choose "Either works" and we'll place you where there's room.

Do I need a partner to play? +

No. Register as a free agent for $65 and we'll match you with another solo player to form a team. If you have a partner, sign up as a team — one of you registers as captain and adds the other.

What if I've never really played? +

You're exactly who the Social division is for. It's relaxed, friendly, and a great way to learn. The Competitive division is there when you're ready to step up.

What happens if it rains? +

We play in light conditions. If a night gets washed out, it moves to a built-in make-up date at the end of the season, and the EIC interior is our backup gathering spot. We post the call by 3 PM that day on the site and by email — no guessing.

Do I need to bring equipment? +

Nope. We provide regulation boards and bags for every court. If you have your own approved bags you love, bring them.

Can I bring my kids? +

Yes — that's the whole point. Supervised gaming runs inside the EIC at $5/hour (up to 20 kids), so you can play your matches while they're entertained. Note it on your registration so we plan capacity.

How do scores and standings work? +

Everything runs on Scoreholio. You check in by QR code, scores go in live on tablets at each court, and standings and playoff brackets update automatically — follow it all from your phone.

What's your refund policy? +

Full refund if you cancel before opening night. Once the season starts, fees aren't refundable — but missed nights don't cost you a thing, and a teammate can sub in.
