The winning team from the local Qaidat will get the chance to face off other Qiadats at regional level.

After this, each region will submit their best teams to take part in the National Final

Local Nazimeen should convey the names of the qualifying team from their Qiadat to their regional Nazim straight after the local round takes place.

If any Qaidat has a very small Tajneed and do not have enough Atfal in one of the age groups to run the quiz, they are free to show some flexibility and mix up the teams.
