The "Top Gun" Singles turned out to be a very competitive and exciting division. The Top Gun consisted of 8 ACO Pros, 10 ACO semi-pros, and the rest of the field was made up of upper level amateurs. The tournament was considered a Top Gun 2 division, which is the highest level, outside of an invitaiton event. The overall winner was Noel True from Monterey, KY, who earned 24 CF points. Noel defeated Charles True in the final in two straight games. Charles earned 21 points for runner-up. Noel True was lights out all day and came into the tournament playing some great cornhole. Many players had predicted that Noel would win the Top Gun based on his recent play in other tournaments. Finishing in the final four was Mike Alvey, Louisville, KY and Jack Stagge, Ohio. Mike was defeated by Charlie True in the final four. Jack was defeated by Noel True in in the final four. Jack earned 15 points for finishing in the top four.  Rounding out the top eight and earning 9 points was Danny Seals, IN, Rick Suttle, OH, Stuart Baird, IN, and Dale Smith, Campbellsville, KY.
