Registration info: 2 teams. Note, however, after the three week period, we require teams that are not qualifying in our region to obtain the permission of the organizer. The idea is that if we are nearing capacity, we may not want to allow 16 teams, but will do so if there are that many qualifiers.
Important Information
- All schools must pay a $150 APPE Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl® program participation fee to APPE to participate in the regional competitions. Most regions have an additional "host fee" to cover their local costs, which is also paid at the time of registration. Those funds will be distributed to the regions at the close of registration.
- Teams that qualify for the APPE Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl® national competition will pay an additional national competition registration fee to APPE after the regional competitions are completed and the qualifying teams are announced. You cannot register for nationals before receiving a qualifying bid from your regional competition. Click here for more information about the national competition.
- Your team will not be considered registered for any competition until all required forms and fees have been submitted.
- Some of the source material cited in the cases may be behind paywalls that individual students may have difficulty accessing. Since colleges will most often have institutional access to these resources, coaches may need to help their team members access these materials through the institution. In the case that institutional access is unavailable, you can request the original source material by contacting the Chair of the APPE IEB® Council, Michael Jordan at mjordan.ethicsbowl@gmail.com.
