This February, the Prindle Institute will host 12 Regional Champion teams from across the Midwest for the 2025 Central Divisional High School Ethics Bowl Playoffs, in partnership with the National High School Ethics Bowl (NHSEB). Winning teams from member Regional Competitions will compete in a series of head-to-head, single-elimination playoff matches for six bids for the NHSEB National Championship, April 11-13, 2025.

NHSEB Divisional Playoffs will be conducted online, using the Parr Center’s NHSEBOne competition platform and pre-designated cases from the 2024-2025 Regional Case Set. Specific rules have been approved by the NHSEB Executive Committee exclusively for online Divisional Playoff events. They are detailed in full in the NHSEB Rules Manual. Teams may gather in the same physical location for competition, but all students and coaches should join matches from their own device, and follow all stated rules and guidelines during their Divisional Playoff events. Otherwise, all Divisional Playoff events will utilize the same rules and regulations as the NHSEB National Championship.
