2026 Fall Cornhole League

The 2026 Fall Cornhole League will run from September 11 through November 8, 2026. This fall we will back at the Pavilion Plaza parking lot at 1028 Diablo St. in downtown Clayton (across Diablo Street from Skipolini's). For league play we will have four cornhole courts in the parking lot at 1028 Diablo Street.

The regular season runs from September 11 through October 30. Each night teams will play two matches of four games each, one at 6:30 and one at 8:00. During the regular season, each team will play two matches against each of the other teams in their group.

Playoffs will be held on November 7th and 8th. The playoffs will be held on the bocce courts.

Registration Period

2026 Fall Cornhole League signups run from August 10 through September 5. The capo's meeting will be at 10:00am on Saturday, September 12 at 1028 Diablo Street.

Each team that played in the 2025 Fall League has a slot reserved in their same Group in the 2026 Fall League. As long as you have your registration in order by the end of the registration period your slot is guaranteed.

PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!!!

Registration Rules

• Your roster must have at least four (4) and at most eight (8) players.
• To qualify as a returning team you must keep at least two (2) players from your 2025 Fall league team. After your two returning players, you may add players that have played in the league before, or players that are new to the league, in any combination.
• All players who have not yet signed a waiver will need to sign a copy before the end of the signup period. On your team signup page there is a button to print a waiver form for each player on your team. Or you may download the waiver form here. Once a waiver is signed email a scanned copy to us. Waivers must be actually received by us by midnight September 5 to be accepted.
• Every team member must have an email address, telephone number, and zip code of residence on file. During the signup process, please ensure that these items are up to date for every player.
• The registration fee is $300 per team, regardless of the number of players on your roster.
• You may not make any roster changes after the signup period ends.

Registration Procedure

• The capo of each team is responsible for signing up their team.
• If you want to change your capo or your team name, please email us with the details.
• Capos should each have a login account on this website; capo login accounts remain active. However, after a period some account links may have been lost. In this case you will need to re-register your Facebook/Google account using the registration code supplied to you via email. New capos will need to create their logins. Instructions are in the home page article "Logging in to the Clayton Bocce/Cornhole Website."
• During the signup period, each capo may log in as often as needed to update their roster and pay their registration fee.
• Please update any of your players' emails, phone numbers and/or zip codes that may have changed.
• Registration fees are paid online using a PayPal account or a major credit card.

Electronic Scoring

League cornhole play will use electronic scoring.

For electronic scoring security, each team is assigned a four digit team Identification Number (TIN). To score a match, a player needs to enter the TIN for one of the teams playing the match. This is to prevent mischievous outsiders from messing with our scores. TIN's change every season. Your TIN is displayed on your team signup page, and on your team schedule and roster pages during the season. You may freely share your TIN with your players, but it should not be shared outside your team.

This hit us fast and hard. Lisa is an original (2014) member of the CBCA Bocce Committee. Lisa was there when we held our open public sign-ups. She helped form and build the league we all love. Lisa was our ‘eye in the sky’ who did all of our video reviews when we needed them. No doubt Lisa brought the best lasagna to Friday night bocce as the long-time capo of the Pretty Pink Ponies. Sometimes the committee got lasagna too.

Lisa could be counted on to ask her (pre-planned) stupid questions at capo meetings at the beginning of the season, but at seasons’ end ‘made’ cookies for league champions, handed out awards, usually ordered the prizes, stuffed swag bags, and checked people in for tournaments she wasn’t playing in (and if you saw her roll, you would know why) and ... the list goes on but we think you get the point.

We each loved Lisa and she loved each of us. She unleashed her unfiltered opinions on us no different than she did everyone else – and we had great fun at her expense. She had countless toe-to-toe text battles with those on our committee who mercilessly never let her forget that she grew up in Antioch - the kind of brother-sister smack talk you laugh about later ...

Our Clayton bocce community lost a founding member and someone who loved the game and what it brings to our community. Why her and why now is not for us to understand. But we will forever understand and cherish what Lisa meant to us.

Lisa would very much want any celebration involving her to be a party. So dress appropriately, raise a few glasses, and talk story.

Background

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the governing body for internet standards, including email standards. Over the past several years the IETF has put forward protocols for limiting spam email, and email providers have been implementing the IETF recommendations.

How We are Affected

The Clayton Bocce website (ClaytonBocce.org) automatically generates emails to capos for various events such as score updates, match cancellations and team registrations. The main impact of the IETF email protocols on our website is that email sent from ClaytonBocce.org must have a "from" address in the form name@ClaytonBocce.org. In the past the website has been sending emails from ClaytonBocce@gmail.com, which is the main correspondence address for all things relating to Clayton bocce and cornhole. But as email providers have implemented the IETF protocols, more and more of our emails are being blocked.

What is Changing?

From now on, all emails generated by the ClaytonBocce.org website will be from info@ClaytonBocce.org. We will continue to use ClaytonBocce@gmail.com for all interactive emails. To submit questions or comments to the Bocce/Cornhole committee, please email to ClaytonBocce@gmail.com or use the website Contact Us form. Please DO NOT send email to info@ClaytonBocce.org, as this mailbox will not be monitored. Please DO ENSURE that you whitelist info@ClaytonBocce.org for your mailbox.

Microsoft No Longer Supported

Microsoft no longer supports federated logins. We can now accept only Google or Facebook account links.

Federated Login

Website access control systems can be quite complicated: userids, passwords, secret questions, password resets, two-factor authentication and more. For the ClaytonBocce.org website we decided not to include another access control system; instead we will use well known existing systems. If you are issued a ClaytonBocce.org account, you will need to have a Google or Facebook account, and you will login using your Google or Facebook userid and password. The technical term for this is Federated Login. We did this for two reasons:

1. These two providers have full-featured, robust, and secure access control systems.
2. Many persons have an account on one of these systems. By leveraging their existing account, they can avoid having yet another userid and password to remember.

How it Works

The process for logging in to ClaytonBocce.org:

1. Click Login in the upper right of this page.
2. On the login page click one of the three buttons to select the login service you wish to use: Google or Facebook.
3. Login on your selected service. (This step may be skipped if you are already logged in to the service.) The first time you login you may be asked to authorize Clayton Bocce to link to your account. After you login you will be returned to the Clayton Bocce website.
4. You will only need to do this the first time you login. Register your Google or Facebook account with your Clayton Bocce account. When your ClaytonBocce.org account is set up, you will receive an email with a one-time registration code. Enter your one-time registration code on the registration page and click the Register button. This will create a link between your Google or Facebook account and your ClaytonBocce.org account.

Notes

• The ClaytonBocce.org login page has a checkbox labeled Remember Me. If you are using a private computer, you may want to check the Remember Me box on the login page. This will cause your browser to store your login credentials on your computer and automatically log you in when you access the Clayton Bocce website. Note: your login credentials are sensitive, so you must use https for automatic login. (ie. https://ClaytonBocce.org).
• This website does not access any of the information in your Google or Facebook account. Your contact list, calendar, friend list, etc. are not visible to this website. Your userid and password are not passed to this website.
• When you are logged in, Login in the upper right corner will be replaced by your name. Click or hover over your name to open a pop-up menu where you may logout or view and update your account profile.

What If I Do Not have a Google or Facebook account?

We anticipate that most bocce league members will have a Google or Facebook account. If you do not have one you will need to create one. The alternative would be for the bocce website to have its own userids and passwords, but then you would have to create one of those, so what's to be gained?

Google accounts are simpler than Facebook, so if you just need an account to access the bocce website, we suggest a Google account.

• To create a Google account:
  • Go to the Google Home page.
  • Click the Sign in button in the upper right corner.
  • Enter your email address, click Create account and select the type of account.
  • Click the Next button and follow the prompts to enter your information.
• To create a Facebook account:
  • Go to the Facebook Login page.
  • Click the Create new account button.
  • Fill in your inforamtion and click the Sign Up button.
