The (ACO) American Cornhole Organization Cornhole Madness Event takes place at the Grand Victoria Casino, in Rising Sun, Indiana on Saturday, March 28, 2009. What better time to have a Cornhole Madness Event than March. With a Guaranteed $5,000.00 Purse, pitch mania will prevail at Grand Victoria.
Cornhole Madness is not just a cornhole tournament but rather a series of Staged Cornhole Events throughout Saturday, March 28. The winner will go home with a guaranteed $1000.00 cash prize. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top 13 finishers in a field limit of 128 entries.
Cornhole Madness is as crazy as it sounds and chances to win are extremely high. Each player will compete in four different staged events. Points will be earned at each event based on the performance of the player. The higher the points the better the placement. The player with the highest point total after all 4 events will be in first place and take home $1,000.00.

the events to be the overall winner.
