ITCC Rules


The ITCC rules are reviewed by the Rules Committee. If changes are required to make the event safer, follow changes in industry standards, or create a more efficient method of event scoring, those changes will be made during the next review period. The most current version of the rules can always be found at this location.

The official ITCC rules are published in English. Some translated versions of the rules are available but they may not be the most current version of the ITCC rules. (Translations)
