A TAS Competition, or TASComp for short, is a competition that involves TASers of all skill levels competing in an event where they must use their skills and knowledge to complete a given task as fast as possible. The fastest entry that meets all the criteria wins, and monetary prizes are usually given out.

Today, there are four active TASComps that have released tasks in the past year. The largest ones are the official TAS Competition, hosted by CSZ, Superdavo0001, Non5en5e, and others, and the Speed TAS Competition. Other TASComps include WeirdComp, hosted by nim, and LameComp, hosted by Experge, as well as several one-off tournaments and tasks. The COVID-19 pandemic had a widespread effect and the psychological strain caused the majority of all TASComps to be shutdown.

Usually, a TAS Competition has a set of rules that the players have to follow. These can be universal or varying from task to task, or both.
