The Citizens Comp is self-scored and should feel familiar to you if you’ve ever been to one of our TCS comps.

When you arrive and check-in, you will get a scorecard—keep this!

TCS comps are self-scored. After you complete a problem/route, find it on your score card and circle the points associated with how many attempts it took you to complete it. 1 try? 2 tries? 3 tries? You get the idea. Have your spotter/belayer or someone who saw you complete the climb initial each score.

At the end of the day, turn in your scorecard and the staff will add up your highest scores (top 5 for bouldering, top 3 for ropes). Easy. Plus, turning in your scorecard automatically enters you into our raffle. Once you’re done climbing just kick back, relax, and wait for the rain of prizes!

Prizes

Stick around at the end of each TCS comp for a raffle stuffed with super sweet goodies from your favorite climbing companies! Remember, your scorecard is your raffle ticket—once you turn it in you are automatically given a chance to win.
