Problem

Scaling challenges: managing 60+ leagues with disconnected tools

As Georgia’s largest cornhole league operator, CornholeATL was managing over 60 cornhole and bocce leagues per season with more than 4,000 active players. Behind the scenes, however, the operation had become increasingly chaotic. The team relied on a patchwork of Trello boards, Google Sheets, Slack messages, and manual forms to schedule referees and fulfill prizes.

This decentralized setup caused major inefficiencies. Tasks were duplicated, updates were missed, and critical details—like tournament logistics—slipped through the cracks. Coordination consumed excessive bandwidth, and the business struggled to maintain control as it scaled. LeagueLab handled registration, but every other aspect of running leagues lacked an integrated system.

The absence of real-time visibility and process automation made every season a logistical scramble.

Q1

Solution

Tailored solutions to streamline league logistics and staffing

CornholeATL implemented SmartSuite to consolidate and manage all core workflows in one cohesive platform. Instead of retrofitting disconnected tools, the team built purpose-fit solutions for league logistics and staff scheduling—tailored to their operations.

Each league became a structured SmartSuite record linked to relevant staff and deliverables. Automations ensured recurring tasks were completed on time. Staff schedules were tracked with clarity, and forms enabled frictionless onboarding of referees.

What once required multiple apps and repeated messages was now orchestrated from a single control center—removing guesswork and empowering the team to focus on delivering great experiences.

Q2

Results

Boosted efficiency unlocking time for growth initatives

With SmartSuite, CornholeATL gained operational control and clarity across its seasonal events. The internal volume of “Did you handle this?” messages dropped dramatically, and task ownership became clear. Time previously spent chasing updates was reinvested into growth-focused initiatives.

Processes that once caused stress—like coordinating prizes or scheduling referees—are now automated, visible, and reliable. The business has not only scaled its leagues more confidently but also restored enjoyment in day-to-day operations.

For CornholeATL, SmartSuite didn’t just replace tools—it transformed the way the team works.
