About

Colorado Time Systems (CTS) provides premier athletic facilities across the world with platinum quality timing, scoring and display systems.

Colorado Time Systems’ concept was born in the Test & Measurement division of Hewlett-Packard (HP). HP wanted to explore opportunities in the sports timing industry and chose aquatics because it required such precise measurement. In 1972, four HP engineers spun off from HP and founded CTS. From those very specific aquatic beginnings, an extensive and multi-faced sports timing and display company was born. Throughout the years, CTS has maintained a steadfast commitment to provide cutting edge scoring and display products for all venues. Our display portfolio includes: LED full color video displays, sport-specific scoreboards, and portable scoreboards. CTS can provide scoring, timing, and display solutions for almost every sport.

We are honored to serve thousands of facilities worldwide that promote health and wellness for athletes of all abilities and levels of competition. Competition encourages us to venture into an unknown space. We train hard, but we don’t know until the finish how well that training has paid off. Every event is a chance for self-discovery as we learn how to physically and mentally tackle events and go further. Whether we compete alone or as a team, we make valuable connections that promote well-being. We grow stronger physically and emotionally as we strive for our personal best, break through boundaries, and recognize our true potential.
