The 28th Annual Collegiate Turf Bowl Competition will be a hybrid contest comprised of an in-person exam and a virtual cast study.

- Must be currently enrolled in a turf program or have graduated at the end of the most recent fall semester but not yet entered a graduate program
- Be an active Student member of GCSAA

To help you prepare for this year’s competition, the 2022 Turf Bowl Study Guide is now available. Read the document carefully.
You will notice that the Case Study will be completed prior to arrival in San Diego. In order to accommodate this, the team sign up must be completed by Jan. 14, 2022. Advisors should send a list of students’ names, GCSAA membership numbers, email addresses and desired team, if there is more than one team for your school, to Diana Kern.
The Case Study presentation is due Jan. 21, 2022.
