Participants aim for the win at Southeast Conference of the American Cornhole League tourney

Over 300 participants showed up to toss it out for the win -- about 40 of those participants are ACL pros.

MACON, Ga. — People got together Saturday to play a game that's growing in popularity around the country: cornhole.

It's the name of a game where players attempt to toss a corn bag in the hole of an inclined wooden platform.

The Southeast Conference of the American Cornhole League (ACL) hosted its second tournament this year at the Macon Convention Center.

Over 300 participants showed up to toss it out for the win -- about 40 of those participants are ACL pros.

"Once I realized you can make money, I was hooked, been playing ever since, try to practice every day. [The] past three years I've been competing as an ACL pro, [I] was lucky enough to get on TV one time," said Hunter Yaklin.

The tournament will continue Sunday.
