SportsLabsUSA was in need of a document to outline the rules and regulations for turf field maintenance in the United States. The document was prepared for the company to present at a conference in Washington, D.C.

While other similar documents exist in different countries, this is the first of its kind in the US. The document was created over a strict two-week period before the official presentation, and then was updated with revisions as needed afterward. It was assembled from various company branded photos, graphs, and pages from other documents necessary to include in this guide.
