About Cornhole Tournament
Cornhole has grown from a backyard pastime into one of the most popular bar sports around, and Wilmington is no exception — Seven Mile Post’s weekly tournament has become a genuine community event where regulars know each other by name and newcomers are welcomed into the rotation without hesitation. The format keeps it simple: pay your $10 buy-in, get bracketed up, and see how far your bag-tossing skills carry you. It’s casual enough for first-timers who’ve never picked up a bag, but competitive enough that regulars take their seeding seriously.

About Seven Mile Post
Seven Mile Post is Wilmington’s go-to bar for events that don’t take themselves too seriously — cornhole on Wednesdays, trivia and Shag dancing later in the week, and live music most nights of the weekend. Located at 7219 Market Street, the bar keeps The Xtra Mile’s kitchen open for bar food that ranges from classic apps to something a little healthier, so you’re covered whether you’re playing all night or watching from a barstool with a cold drink.

Good to Know Before You Go
Arrive a few minutes before 7 PM to make sure you’re entered into the bracket before the first round gets underway. Bring cash or a card for the $10 buy-in, and don’t worry if you’ve never played competitively — Seven Mile Post’s cornhole crowd is far more interested in a fun night than a serious league. Parking is available right on site, and The Xtra Mile’s kitchen stays open through the whole tournament if you need to refuel between matches.

Cornhole has grown from a backyard pastime into one of the most popular bar sports in the country, and part of the appeal is how accessible it is — there’s no steep learning curve, no expensive equipment to buy, and no reason a first-timer can’t hang with a longtime player on a good night. Seven Mile Post’s weekly tournament captures that spirit perfectly, and with the informal season heading toward its final weeks of August, there’s still plenty of time to jump in and build up a record before autumn’s tournament run begins.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
A $10 buy-in is a small price for a night of competition, laughs, and the chance to walk away with bragging rights until next Wednesday. Cornhole Tournament night draws a mix of regulars and new faces, making it an easy way to meet people while doing something more interesting than just standing around. Grab a partner, get your bag-toss form warmed up, and come see how you stack up.
