National Ethics Bowl Competition The National Championship Cases and Rules Regional Bowl Information Past Cases from Regional and National Competitions National IEB Champions	Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl^sm Updated January 6, 2012 Sixteenth Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl^sm Competition The Sixteenth Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl^sm will be March 1, 2012 in Cincinnati, OH, as a part of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics' 2012 21st Annual Meeting. Colleges and universities across the United States and throughout the world who qualify in a regional bowl will be invited to enter a team of undergraduate students in the national competition. The Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl (IEB) is a team competition that combines the excitement and fun of a competitive tournament with an innovative approach to education in practical and professional ethics for undergraduate students. Recognized widely by educators, the IEB has received special commendation for excellence and innovation from the American Philosophical Association, and received the 2006 American Philosophical Association/Philosophy Documentation Center's 2006 prize for Excellence and Innovation in Philosophy Programs. The format, rules, and procedures of the IEB all have been developed to model widely acknowledged best methods of reasoning in practical and professional ethics. In the IEB, each team receives a set of cases which raise issues in practical and professional ethics in advance of the competition and prepare an analysis of each case. At the competition, a moderator poses questions, based on a case taken from that set, to teams of three to five students. Questions may concern ethical problems on wide ranging topics, such as the classroom (e.g. cheating or plagiarism), personal relationships (e.g. dating or friendship), professional ethics (e.g. engineering, law, medicine), or social and political ethics (e.g. free speech, gun control, etc.) A panel of judges may probe the teams for further justifications and evaluates answers. Rating criteria are intelligibility, focus on ethically relevant considerations, avoidance of ethical irrelevance, and deliberative thoughtfulness.

The fee for the regional competition may vary with the region and teams must contact the Regional Director to learn what the fee will be. In addition to that fee to help defray the costs of the Regional Competition, each team will be assessed a $50 fee, payable to the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, to help defray the cost of the National Competition. Some regional directors will include that $50 in the total set of fees collected from the competing regional teams and then forward that $50 to the Association. Others will ask each individual regional team to send that $50 directly to the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics. Teams competing in a regional must confirm with the Regional Director whether the $50 fee is included in the regional fee or whether the team must send the $50 directly to the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics. A form is provided by the Regional Director for teams to send the $50 directly to the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics. A regional team will not be eligible to compete in the regional until the $50 fee has been paid.
