It’s just so often it’s part of the culture of summer and being outdoors. We’ve been playing them from college to post-college. I love this from a community mindset side of things because so many of us have cornhole boards at our homes. Let’s start with the investment of the tech to allow people to play versus each other. So, we went down two parallel paths immediately there in March that ended up proving out to be very positive for us.Īll right. W e also invested a lot of money on the technology side really quickly to create ACL virtual to allow people to play cornhole competitions in their backyard. And so we went to the drawing board to figure out social distancing rules so that we could get live cornhole back on ESPN.

We decided that we were going to be the first live professional US sport back on television.

When you’re staring a six-figure plus loss in the face in a pandemic you have no idea what to do. Extremely costly for us as a small business. Just how disappointed everyone was to not be able to play that event. So, you can imagine the player unrest we had to deal with.
You know, we’d had over a thousand players travel to that event. Thursday night the city, county, the state pulled the plug on us. We had 180 sets of cornhole boards set up, ready to go. But yeah, so back in March we were in Cleveland, Ohio. I need to find some time to decorate my walls so I can get up to your speed. I can’t get a cool background as you have. I was having another conversation with someone that last I talked to me back in February. So, it has certainly been a roller coaster year. I don’t think anyone expected COVID and what the fallout would be related to that. So, take us into your mindset a little bit more in terms of the growth during the pandemic and sort of how this unfolded, and was this something that you one expected and planned for, or are you nimble and moving as things were happening? You had 29 million minutes of cornhole watched on your digital channels last month. I saw that you guys had four hours of live television on ESPN. Yeah, and right now the time could not be better for you in American cornhole because strangely during this pandemic you guys have seen insane growth. And I’m looking forward to sharing all those details with everybody. A lot of exciting things are going on in the world of cornhole.
