Rules & Guidelines

The IBO has two major governing documents. The Articles of Association describe the legal foundation of the IBO Association, its governance and the rights and duties of its members. The Operational Guidelines describe all regulations relevant for the yearly competition. All members and participating delegations are bound by these rules, and the IBO Steering Committee enacts them.

In addition, we have regulations for health and safety, supporting documentation for host countries and a description of our organizational structure with its many facets. Please note that the IBO currently has no syllabus on topics that should be studied or can be assessed.
