WooSox expand Polar Park cornhole tournament to 64 teams
The WooSox are stretching their Polar Park cornhole event to 64 teams after the 2025 field sold out, turning demand into a bigger ballpark draw.
The Worcester Red Sox are turning their third annual cornhole tournament into a larger Polar Park attraction, expanding the field from 50 teams in 2025 to 64 teams for the Saturday, August 15 event before the 4:05 p.m. game against the Buffalo Bisons.
The 2025 tournament sold out. With registration demand already outpacing last year’s cap, the WooSox and Mad Baggerz Cornhole are widening the bracket at Polar Park in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Check-in for the 2026 tournament begins at 9 a.m., play starts at 10 a.m., and championship matches are expected around 1:45 p.m. Fans will enter Polar Park through Gate D on Madison Street, and competitors may bring their own bags, though it is not required. The tournament opens with exhibition matches that sort teams into three skill tiers before shifting into a double-elimination format.
Tier 1 champions will receive $1,000, four tickets to 2027 Opening Day, and a ceremonial first-pitch opportunity before the Bisons game. Tier 2 winners will get $100, and the top Tier 3 team will receive a $50 WooSox Team Store gift card.
Teams can buy a Team Ticket package, season-ticket members have a discounted option, and spectators can purchase an entry ticket that includes early access to watch the competition. Participants will use the Scoreholio app for match times, bracket updates, and results.
2026 is the WooSox’s 5th Anniversary Season at the ballpark, and by September 2025 it had become the only club in Minor League Baseball to surpass 500,000 tickets sold in four straight years. Single-game tickets for June through September 2026 went on sale April 7 at 10 a.m.
