Price, what you really pay

All four platforms charge on registration sales, with no subscription. Throwdown takes 3% + 1.50 € per registration, Scoring.fit 5% + 1.55 €, Competition Corner 4% + 2 $, Circle21 4% + 1.50 € on its Professional plan. These fees are added on top of the ticket price: a lower commission means a cheaper registration for your athletes. Depending on your ticket price, on a competition of 200 places the gap can run into the hundreds of euros.

Professional chip timing as an option

For a hybrid race, you want reliable times without a manual stopwatch. Throwdown rents a professional chip timing system, velcro transponders and a finish-line sensor, for the weekend. Times flow automatically into the ranking and your athletes get an experience close to an official race.
