Every member, local adviser, and state leader must maintain and enforce these principles. To ensure a high standard across FBLA, every competitor registered in any competitive event must agree and certify to comply with the following guidelines: Compliance: Competitors are required to read and adhere to the FBLA Competitive Event Guidelines relevant to their event. Original Work: Competitors must ensure that all content submitted for FBLA competitive events is their own work or that of their team members. Proper citation of sources is mandatory. Use of Materials: Only items and materials explicitly allowed by FBLA Competitive Event Guidelines may be utilized. Independence: No external assistance beyond what is explicitly permitted in FBLA event instructions or guidelines is allowed. Cell Phones, Smart Watches, & Headphones: Unless a pre-approved accommodation is in place, all cell phones, smart watches, and headphones must be turned off and put away before testing or role play competition begins.

Originality: Competitive entries must be entirely original and not previously entered in FBLA national competition by the competitor or others. (It is the intent to preclude local chapters from rewriting the same event, and it is recognized that chapters may utilize the same or similar activities on an annual basis in some events.
