The team of students traveled to Nedrose on March 19 and took second out of the large school category. There is a large and small school category depending on the size of the high school, teams from each school are categorized in either the small or large school division. The schools, 16 in all, were all from around the region.

The questions are English, history, science, math, elective and current event based. The top three schools from each small and large division move onto finals.
