Cornhole

There’ll be a Cornhole Tournament at Jefferson Day This Year!

A new tournament has been added to Jefferson Township Day this year, and hopefully it will generate interest and create another fun activity for all ages on Saturday, July 11 for the 29th annual celebration at the Jefferson Township High School fields, 1010 Weldon Road, Oak Ridge, NJ.  There will be a Cornhole Tournament at 3 pm, so get a teammate and join in the fun.   

The game of "Cornhole" is actually a bean bag toss where the bean bags are thrown at an angled platform with a hole in the upper end.  There are two platforms separated by 27 feet. Two teams, consisting of two players on each team compete with each other to see who can score the most points. Points are gained by tossing the bean bag through the hole or by staying on the platform without touching the ground. The team that scores a total of 21 points is the winner of the match, and the tournament is a series of elimination matches until there is one winner left. First and Second Place winners will receive Olympic style medals.

According to the tournament’s organizer Jack Kelly, since this is the Jefferson Arts Committee’s first tournament, he is limiting it to eight teams. 

Pre-registration is required and the registration form can be found on www.jeffersonarts.org    There is a $5 per team (2 to a team) entry fee.

If you have questions or for information about the tournament contact Jack at 973-697-5957 or jackkelly@hotmail.com
