MotorCity Cornhole regional fills fast as June 28 event nears

MotorCity Cornhole’s ACL Regional at One Eyed Jacks Bar is filling under a hard cap, and once the field reaches that limit, registration closes. The tournament is set for Sunday, June 28, at 48720 Van Dyke Ave. in Shelby Township, Michigan, and players can enter all four divisions in singles and doubles.

That cap changes the math for Michigan players. This is not a casual open draw where late signups can slide in at the last minute. It is a sanctioned regional stop, built around limited spots, and the field is done the moment the limit is hit. For players trying to stay active in the state circuit, that makes pre-registration the difference between getting on the board and missing a points chance altogether.

The American Cornhole League says regional and state events feed into standings, with state standings using local results from the top 15 and regional results from the top six in singles and the top six in doubles. ACL player-guide materials also say conference and regional directors can override a player’s skill-level assignment if they believe the division is too low or too high. That gives the event a stricter competitive edge than a standard social stop, especially for players trying to find the right bracket before a bigger run later in the season.

The broader ACL schedule backs that up. The league describes itself as the premier league for professional and recreational cornhole in the United States, and its 2025/26 national schedule shows a full tour layered on top of local and regional events across the country. In other words, stops like MotorCity’s are not side shows. They are part of the pipeline that keeps players moving through the standings while the national calendar keeps expanding.

The setting matters too. One Eyed Jacks Bar gives the event a more accessible community venue than a large convention hall, while still placing it inside the ACL’s formal rules structure. The league updated its official rules and regulations for the 2025/2026 season, underscoring how organized the sport has become as regional fields tighten and early registration becomes the safest route into competition.
