There are 36 schools taking part this year and the top two teams from each regional round go through to the final which will be held at Clifton College on 2 May.
They will compete for the title of quiz champions and the privilege of selecting a disadvantaged school that will receive a donation of books to the value of R10,000 donated by independent, community-minded book store, Books & Books and Kip McGrath education and learner enrichment centres.
Last year a team from Crawford College La Lucia were named the overall quiz champions.
