It looks like Medical Mutual has the cornhole version of Miami Heat swagger.

Skotko answered a couple of other questions about this year’s tournament.

On Kaiser Permanente: “Are they even going to show up, ( just kidding )? Just to be generous, we’ll probably let them double their score from last year.”
The tournament has another amazing set of sponsors that include Downtown Cleveland Alliance, STERIS, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Ohio State Medical Association, Benesch and MedBed Connect.
