HOW VCA WORKS

One Season. One Statewide Ranking. One Road to State.

The Virginia Cornhole Association connects sanctioned Local events and Regional competitions into one statewide season. Compete throughout the season, earn VCA points, build your statewide ranking, and complete the requirements to earn your invitation to the VCA State Championship.

YOUR VCA SEASON IN 4 STEPS

Play. Earn Points. Build Your Ranking. Qualify for State.

01 — PLAY LOCALS

Compete close to home. Build your season.

VCA Local Events are the foundation of your season. Compete at sanctioned Local events throughout Virginia to earn points toward your statewide VCA ranking.

Local events may include Singles, Blind Draw Doubles, and BYOP Doubles.

During the regular season, your best 2 Local results each month count toward your VCA ranking. With six months in the season, a player can have up to 12 counting Local results.

VCA Regional Events bring players together for larger competitions throughout the season.

Players will compete in 3 Rounders to establish their placement, followed by a double-elimination bracket.

Regional events provide another opportunity to earn VCA points while competing against a larger field of players from across Virginia.

Every counting finish builds your statewide ranking.

Every counting VCA Local and Regional finish adds points toward your season total and statewide VCA ranking.

Your ranking is built from your best 2 Local results each month plus your best 5 Regional results.

Strong finishes and larger fields can earn more points, making every counting event an opportunity to improve your position in the statewide standings.
