JROTC Competition
Control Center(The JROTC competition scoring system that replaces paper scorecards, spreadsheets, and delayed results, for drill, raider, PT, academic and every other event, across Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps JROTC)
1. Situation The problem with competition scoring today
a. Enemy forces
The following continue to occupy competition day, degrading instructor time and cadet recognition:
- Paper scorecards: lost, illegible, or miscounted
- Spreadsheets that introduce silent math errors
- Results delayed for hours while standings are computed by hand
- Schedules and updates scattered across texts, emails, and runners
- Instructors doing paperwork instead of developing leaders
(every host, ever)
b. Friendly forces
JROTC CCC: a competition control system built specifically for cadet programs, not adapted from generic event software. Registration, scheduling, judging, scoring, and results in one system. Proven in real, live competitions, under real competition-day pressure.
Not just drill. Drill meets, color guard, raider challenges, athletic events, PT, academic exams, and any event you can put on a score sheet. Built for every service: Air Force JROTC, Army JROTC, Navy JROTC, and Marine Corps JROTC, plus college ROTC and middle school Leadership Officer Training Corps programs.
2. Mission One purpose-built JROTC competition management system
JROTC CCC runs your entire competition (registration, schedules, judging, and scoring) in one purpose-built system, in order to compute accurate results the moment judging ends and return instructor time to developing cadets.
Find a competition. Browse upcoming competitions from every host, free and with no login, in the public competition directory.
3. Execution How a competition runs on CCC, from check-in to awards
a. Concept of operations: one hosted competition, wheels to awards
| Time | Phase | How it runs on CCC |
|---|---|---|
| 0700 | Check-in | Schools registered online weeks ago. Rosters, event entries, and schedules are confirmed before the first bus arrives. Check-in is a greeting, not a data-entry session. |
| 0800 | Movement | Automated scheduling handles simultaneous events, rotating judges, and mid-day changes. Updates reach every school instantly. No runners. No rumor mill. |
| 0830 | Judging | Each judge logs into their own portal on their phone and sees only the events and units they own, on purpose-built digital scorecards (see Annex A). No manuals, no math, no transcription. |
| Continuous | Tabulation | Totals and penalties calculate automatically the moment each judge submits. Standings stay sealed until the ceremony. No leaks, no spoilers, and nobody doing math at 1530. |
| 1600 | Awards | Final standings are revealed at the ceremony, and cadets hear who won when the trophies do. Afterward, every school can see exactly how the results were computed. |

c. Coordinating instructions: why this system is different
- Purpose-built workflows. Every flow matches the structure and pace of real cadet competitions. No workarounds, no retrofitting, no "close enough."
- Judges get their own portal. Log in, see exactly what you're judging, score with confidence. Consistency improves fairness across the whole competition.
- Transparency builds trust. No closed spreadsheets. Once results are announced, every school sees exactly how they were computed. Fewer disputes, more confidence in the outcome.
- Shaped by instructors. Every feature exists because an instructor asked for it, or because we hit the problem ourselves on competition day.

5. Command & Signal About JROTC CCC and how to reach us
a. Command: who built this
After watching his kids compete in AFJROTC events, founder Aaron Carey kept seeing the same failure pattern: hours-long delays, lost score sheets, last-minute corrections, instructors buried in spreadsheets. The most rewarding moment of the day, recognizing cadet performance, kept turning into confusion and stress. Conversations with instructors across Texas and beyond confirmed it: every JROTC competition faced the same inefficiencies. There had to be a better way.
30 years of IT and process experience applied to real-world competition problems, and a parent who lived them from the bleachers.
4 years Air Force Honor Guard, 16 years military recruiter, 12 years AFJROTC instructor at Flower Mound High School, Texas.
