TTPOA has held its SWAT competition since 1992. Results before the site's own scoring were compiled from back issues of
COMMAND magazine and the association's winners list;
each year cites the issues it came from.
Overall finishes in the TTPOA SWAT Competition, ranked by titles, then 2nd and 3rd places. Multiple teams from one agency count toward that agency.
Some early years record only the champion. Updated automatically when a competition's results are published.
The Pirkle Sniper Challenge is held separately from the SWAT Competition, often at a different site. 1998 was TTPOA's first sniper competition, won by an individual shooter. Winners appear here once results are published.
