Tie Breaking Pedagogy Oregon FBLA is continuing the pilot of the new national rating sheets for the 2016-17 school year. With the launch of these rating sheets comes the need for a tie breaking pedagogy. Students in an event that could go to the final stage of the pedagogy need to bring a resume with them to competition as it is the final step of the tie breaking pedagogy. The evaluation tool for the resume will be available in the SBLC registration guide. Ties will be broken in the following order: 1. Online Test Result the last 10 questions, followed by time 2. Pre Judged Materials 3. Preliminary Performance Round Average Score 4. Resume 5. Judges Determination Number of Competitions Allowed Per Competitor At the state level, students may compete in one qualified event, one bonus event, Future Business Leader, Electronic Career Portfolio, plus chapter events. On the national level, a student may compete in one chapter event as well as one individual or team event.

Recognition Up to the top ten (10) competitors, teams, or chapters will be recognized in each event and will receive awards at the Business Leadership Conference. Please see the details later in this document for additional information. Cellular Phones Cellular phones are to be in the off position during competitive event sessions. Competitors whose phones ring or disturb the competition environment will either be penalized or disqualified from the event. Written Event Online Testing Oregon FBLA will utilize an online delivery system to administer its written, knowledge events. Competitors will be provided with login information and will complete their exams in a locally monitored lab setting at their local school prior to the actual conference. Competitors WILL NOT be able to change the events they are registered in at the time of testing, but will have access only to those events in which they are pre-registered. Detailed instructions on registering and administering online testing will be sent to local chapters with the Business Leadership Conference registration materials. Method for Breaking Ties The Last Ten Question Method is used in the event there is a tie among written test competitors. The competitor who missed the least amount of questions in the final ten (10) questions will have the tie broken in his/her favor. If a tie remains after reviewing the last ten (10) questions, time used to complete the test will be used to break the tie. Sequestering for Events In the performance events, competitors are not sequestered (isolated from other conference attendees and competitors) to allow for maximum participation in all events. This is allowed because Oregon FBLA has always maintained a high level of honor and character among its members. Therefore, any competitors found to be sharing event topics, case studies, judge questions, or test questions with any other person (including guests, advisers, chaperones, members from other schools) will be disqualified from ALL competitions. Depending on the severity, the competitor may be asked to leave the conference or in certain cases the entire chapter may be disqualified from competition. Observing Performance Events Final rounds of performance events are open to audience observation where space permits. The conference program will clearly designate which events are open for audience observation. In all cases, competitors actually participating in the event are not allowed to be observers. In addition, seating for observers in most events will be limited. Please be courteous and allow members/advisers from the chapter of the student competing to have a chance to view the performance if desired. one may enter or leave the performance area while a performance is in progress. 2016-17 Version-Updated August 20, 2016 Page 5 of 53

Students in Public Service Announcement, Social Media Campaign or Digital Video Production must have an offline copy of their production available. Scheduling Conflicts In the event a participant has a scheduling conflict with other events, the competitor and his/her adviser must report to the event administrator prior to the start of the event to determine if rescheduling is possible. The ability to re-schedule competitors resides with the event administrator. Reference Materials Except where designated in this handbook, no reference materials are allowed in any competition. Recording of Presentations Absolutely no audio or visual recording devices will be allowed in any competitive event. Due Dates Due dates for materials, registration, etc., are posted in the official Oregon FBLA-PBL Calendar. In most cases these due dates are receipt dates.

Competitive Events Changes for 2016-17 Competitive Event Updates 2016-17 NEW EVENTS (2017 ANAHEIM): Advertising--online, objective test/individual event Journalism--online, objective test/individual event Organizational Leadership--online, objective test/individual event 2016-17 MODIFICATIONS (2017 ANAHEIM): Business Ethics will be either an individual or a team of 2 to 3 Emerging Business Issues will be either an individual or a team of 2 to 3 Desktop Application Programming will be renamed Coding and Programming Competitive Event Updates All events with an objective test and performance component will now have the test count as 50% of the final score. This is different from the national guidelines. In events where a test determines the finalists, all students will now test individually instead of collaboratively. Test scores will be averaged to determine team scores. In Public Speaking II, speech manuscripts must be run through a plagiarism checker. Both the manuscript and report will be uploaded by March 1. Twenty percent (20%) or less is non-cited, previously used text to be flagged. This report will be submitted at the state deadline. If over 20% is flagged, a special comment section will be provided and the issues committee will review. If this is not submitted, the student will not be scheduled to perform. When a team has qualified to compete at NLC, when the test determines the finalists, and a chapter cannot fill the minimum members of the team, state staff may fill the empty slots with individuals who indicated they were willing to serve as a replacement team member based on individual scores. When not all NLC slots are filled in events where the test determines the finalists, additional teams can be created by state staff from individuals who indicated they were willing to serve as a replacement based on individual test scores. New objective test events will be offered. Other national event modifications will be implemented. Skills Conference Modifications An effort is being made to ensure that all FBLA members, regardless of region have the same opportunities at Skills Conferences. Changes will be implemented over a period of two years. The changes in place for this year are: Each region will complete an information form by October 1 with conference details Advisers in charge of the conference will attend a conference training in the fall/early winter A region directory of active chapters and advisers will be made available. Each chapter adviser will be asked to complete an information form provided by state staff. Pilot of online RSC conference registration optional for all regions. This is a very similar process to SBLC registration. All RSC conferences will offer online tests. 2016-17 Version-Updated August 20, 2016 Page 8 of 53

Administrator of the Year Without the support of administrators in our schools, districts, and at the state level, it would be impossible for an organization like FBLA to exist, let alone impact the hundreds and thousands of students we touch year in and year out.

This recognition provides local chapters with the opportunity to identify and quantify the support they receive from special administrators and to say thank you. Eligibility minations may come from local chapter advisers, FBLA members, Professional Division Members, and alumni. When nomination forms are received in the state office, the nominees may be contacted by the state office for further information. mination forms must be uploaded via the online submission process in PDF format no later than the close of business on the date given on the official Oregon FBLA-PBL calendar of events.
