Recess Winter League 2026

League Energy: sweater weather, cozy time with friends, jello shots

Commissioner: David, Chris, sometimes Miguel

Welcome! We at ChiTown Baggers are dealing with the winter weather the only way we know how; by playing cornhole inside. But we are excited to don our hoodies and sweaters for the winter weather with you! Come join our awesome and friendly community of baggers. We will play inside Recess's City Hall event space. We can't guarantee every bag you throw will go into the hole. What we can guarantee is the best cornhole league experience in Chicago. A large and welcoming community of baggers, friendly league commissioners, high quality equipment, chances to win cash and prizes every week, and the best prizes for winning out of any league you've ever played in.

This league has a place for people of all skill levels and interests. We place teams into divisions based on their abilities. All you want to do is drink and fling bags? We have a division for you! Are you aiming to be the best and throw every bag in the hole? We have a division for you too! Grab a friend and sign up. None of your friends interested in playing? Then sign up as a free agent. We will pair you with other free agents or friendly teams to get you started.

Here's the format:

Week 1: Rounders. You play as many games as we can fit in a night. We then place you in the best division for you based on standings.

Weeks 2-5: Regular season play. You play two teams each night. Six games each night!

Week 6: Playoffs! You compete against teams in your division for the championship and great prizes (getting just a t-shirt for winning is so boring)

We look forward to seeing you this winter!

Scheduling note: The league is scheduled to go from January 6th to February 17th. We will not play on January 27th due to an event at Recess. If a week needs to be cancelled due to a buyout, we will do our best to make up the week. This may result in the league ending later than planned. But we always do our best to stick to the initial timeline.
