Over 100 teams took part in the event, with classifications for competitive, social, and unified teams including those with disabilities. Participants and organizers said that the event promoted what every competitor is capable of, along with the friendships they make along the way.

“This cornhole tournament is perfect for our participants and for everybody because it’s so inclusive,” said Rebecca Williams, the state director of the Maine chapter of Best Buddies. “Everybody can have a good time, everybody can participate and everyone can feel comfortable. And most importantly, this is a supportive, friendly environment, which is exactly what our participants love.”
