[[Event]]s are common in ''Turf'', both locally but also at national level. Once a year, an official, independent game round, is organized, a ''[[Bonanza]]'', where participants gather in a city and play an independent round for a few hours. A ''Bonanza'' can be seen as an official competition or world championship in ''Turf''. The big difference, however, is that there are no requirements for those who participate to also compete against each other. A ''Bonanza'' contains special zones that are not included in the regular game and these are much more closely located in a specially marked game area. The first Bonanza was organized on Djurgården in [[Municipality:Stockholm|Stockholm]] on May 21 2011. The second Bonanza was organized in [[Municipality:Sundsvall|Sundsvall]] on 10 Mars 2012, the third was in [[Municipality:Västerås|Västerås]] on the 1 September 2012 and the fourth one was organized in [[Municipality:Uppsala|Uppsala]] on the 20 April 2013.
There are also other smaller competitions that are similar to the Bonanza. One was for example held outside of [[Elmia]] in [[Municipality:Jönköping|Jönköping]] on the 19 June 2011 (in conjunction with [[Event:Dreamhack 2011|Dreamhack]]), and another one in [[Municipality:Västerås|Västerås]] on the 14 December 2013 (Lusse-Turfen) where you could only use your feet and with densly placed zones. This one is connected with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucy%27s_Day Saint Lucy's Day] (lucia) tradition and has become an annual tradition. After them, a large number of other events have been organized in many different cities with different orientations (canoe, long distances, etc.).
