For every game thus far, the G-MAC has sent the team finishing the season in second place (or a team finishing in a second-place tie) behind the conference's lone Division II playoff qualifier.[3][4][5][6] Because Lindenwood and Indianapolis both qualified for the Division II playoffs in 2019, the GLVC sent third-place Truman State as its representative to the inaugural game.[7] After the 2020 game was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Truman State once again represented the GLVC in 2021 as a third-place team, when Lindenwood qualified for the playoffs and Indianapolis declined the bowl bid.[8] Starting in 2022, the GLVC has sent a team finishing in second place or in a second-place tie.[9][10] Since 2023, the GLVC has made the game optional for the previous year's participant.
The first three games were held on the afternoon of the first Saturday in December, the most common date for NCAA Division II bowl games. With the move from Hobart to Hammond, the bowl became a night game on the first Friday in December.
The 2022 game brought an estimated $200,000 in economic impact to the Hobart area.[11]
