This cornhole league inspired a bounty hunt for single men. It's now sold out.

Determined to find enough men to sell out his cornhole league for singles, Tommy Flaim decided to take an extreme, and somewhat comical, measure.

Determined to find enough men to sell out his cornhole league for singles, Tommy Flaim decided to take an extreme, and somewhat comical, measure. He put out a bounty for straight single guys.

The offer? Fifty dollars to any person who would refer their straight single friends to sign up for the New York City edition of the event, which drew over 100 participants this week.

It’s a marketing strategy that Flaim has successfully used since he started the event in Chicago in November. His league, Silly Sports, has been such a success that it has sold out events in 20 cities.

“IRL” (in real life) dating events have surged in popularity since the Covid-19 pandemic as people grow increasingly tired of the revolving door of dating apps. A Forbes Health study last year found that 80% of millennials and 79% of Gen Z singles are burned out on apps.
