Colorado Time Systems (CTS) is an American company based in Loveland, Colorado that designs, manufactures, sells, and services aquatic timing systems, scoreboards, LED video displays, and related products. [1]

History

Colorado Time Systems 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, a group of HP engineers spun off from HP and founded CTS.[1] 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.[1] In July 2011, Colorado Time Systems was acquired by PlayCore; based in Chattanooga, TN. Colorado Time Systems is part of the Everactive Brands division.

Sponsorship partners

Colorado Time Systems is the official timing, scoring and display partner to: USA Water Polo, US Synchronized Swimming, Mexican Swimming Federation, FINA Junior World Swimming Championship, American Swimming Coaches Association, and China Swimming Association.[2]
