Terms of Use

Last updated October 22, 2026

By using FTC-Reference you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Not affiliated with FIRST

FTC-Reference is an independent, non-commercial fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by FIRST®. FIRST®, FIRST® Tech Challenge and FTC® are trademarks of For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST). Other names and logos belong to their owners.

Data and accuracy

Competition data comes from the FIRST Tech Challenge Events API, and derived statistics (OPR, averages, rankings and the like) are computed by this site. Both can be late, incomplete or wrong. Official results are the ones published by FIRST; don't rely on this site for anything that matters, such as advancement or award decisions.

Using the site

• Personal, educational and team scouting use is welcome.
• Automated access is fine at a polite rate. Don't overload the site, get around its limits, or mirror it wholesale; for bulk data, use the FTC Events API directly.
• Don't use the site to harass anyone, or to break the law or the rules of the competition.

Submissions

When you submit a video or photo link, you confirm that sharing it doesn't violate anyone's rights or the host platform's rules, and you allow the site to link to and display it. The content stays its owner's; the site only links or embeds it. We may decline or remove any submission at any time, and will remove content at the request of its owner or the team shown.

Third-party content

The site links to and embeds content hosted by others (YouTube, Instagram, Imgur, FIRST). We don't control that content and aren't responsible for it; those services' own terms apply.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is" and "as available", free of charge, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site's operator is not liable for any damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or its data.

Changes

These terms may be updated; the current version is always on this page. Questions: contact@ftc-reference.com.
