Brice and Maitland dominate Baggin Rights Blind Draw title run

Quiondre Brice and Nicholas Maitland turned Baggin Rights Blind Draw into a clean march to the title, closing with a 24-14 win over Billy Day and Michael Brunner in the championship game. The final capped a bracket run that never really looked shaky, starting with a 21-0 shutout over Theresa Harrison and Jamal Moore and continuing through a 21-13 win over John Henry and Codi Swallow and a 21-11 victory over Dustin Sturm and Christopher Mosley.

That kind of run is what separates a strong blind-draw pair from a field built on random pairing. Brice and Maitland did not just survive the volatility that usually comes with the format at the ACL level, they pushed opponents into lopsided scores from the opening round on. A 21-0 opener leaves no doubt, and the next two wins showed they kept control as the bracket tightened and the pressure rose.

The rest of the draw had its own telling results. Rodney Wilt and Wayne Fletcher put together a 25-10 win, one of the sharper margins in the bracket, while Joey Jeffer and Leandrea Lipscomb advanced in the upper half of the draw. The field also included teams such as Michele Karlix and Timothy Jordan, Justin Spradlin and Darryl Anderson, Justin Childress and Mark Monroe II, Walter Oley and Dorsel Robinson, Suesannah Perry and Blake Jones, and Reddbone Coleman and Robert Harrison, giving the event the kind of depth that makes a blind draw unpredictable until the late rounds.

The Baggin Rights bracket ran through the ACL Player App, which showed both winners' and losers' bracket progression across multiple courts. That structure matters in a format where chemistry has to be built on the fly, because one rough round can send a team into a longer path and one hot stretch can carry a pair all the way through.

The result also sat inside a larger ACL calendar. The American Cornhole League calls itself the premier league for professional and recreational cornhole in the United States, and its 2025-2026 Pro Tour season is underway. Its 2026 World Championships are scheduled for July 27-August 2 at Rock Hill Sports & Event Center in Rock Hill, South Carolina, a reminder that a local blind draw can feed into the same competitive ecosystem as the sport's biggest stages.
