The Saskatchewan Cornhole Association is gearing up for the third annual "Lady Boss of the Toss," a women's cornhole competition that highlights female athletes in the sport. This year's event will feature professional players alongside rising talent from Saskatchewan, continuing a tradition that began in 2024.
Event Details and Growth
The competition has grown steadily since its inception, attracting participants from across the province. Organizers emphasize the importance of providing a platform for women in a sport that has traditionally been male-dominated. "We're thrilled to see the enthusiasm and skill level increase each year," said a spokesperson for the association.
Participants and Format
The tournament will include both singles and doubles matches, with players competing in a bracket-style format. Pros from national circuits will join local amateurs, creating a mix of experience and emerging talent. Prizes include cash awards and sponsored equipment.
The event also aims to foster community engagement, with workshops and meet-and-greet sessions scheduled alongside the competition. Spectators can expect a family-friendly atmosphere with food vendors and live music.
Impact on Women's Sports
"Lady Boss of the Toss" is part of a broader effort to promote gender equity in sports. The Saskatchewan Cornhole Association has partnered with local organizations to encourage female participation at all levels. "We want to inspire the next generation of women cornhole players," the spokesperson added.
The event will be held at the Regina Exhibition Grounds on May 15-16, with registration open until May 10. For more information, visit the association's website.
