Winning with "Class"

After mentally grasping the concept for the past 2+ years, I have finally grasped the idea. Before I began, some may ask "Sure, you can win with class, but what about those other times. How do you lose with class?". The answer. There is no class in losing, no honor, no dignity. It is what it is loser! Now take your crap and go home! I'm just kidding, you can hold my beer.

OK. You've done your homework, you've properly evaluated your opponents, you've executed your strategy and you and your partner have won the match. How do you come off as a compassionate competitor rather than an arrogant jerk to your vanquished adversary?

Step 1: Lie. Give your opponent some fabricated story like "We've never thrown THAT well before" or "I think our bags were less slick than yours" or even "Just because you all got beat by 18 doesn't mean you don't have a lot of upside. A little more practice and who knows, you could be the King/Queen of the CACC (even though you're ignoring the fact that they throw granny shot style)."

Step 2: Invite them to other CACC competitions, particularly those that have money prizes.
If you want bigger prizes, we all need more numbers out there to make it happen. Don't be a jerk, spread the love!

Step 3: Teach the real players the game.
This doesn't apply to all. Some folks can't hit a Cornhole if the hole was the actual Grand Canyon. Those who have the talent need to know the strategies of spin and positioning. Those are the folks that will challenge the champions and provide the ultimate entertainment of each Cornhole enthusiast.
