( Reports for  2009 ,  2010 ,  2011  and 2012  editions).  Format:       First, a 30 question elim determines 8 qualifiers (or as Quarter finalists). These 8 people take part in a 60 question quarter final. The top four go through to the semi final. The semi-final will consist of 36 questions with scoring reset to zero. This is to keep the 'winning three consecutive matches' concept constant from last year's edition. The top two then go to the final.  The finalists will then face off one-on one for a 28 question final. The match consists of a home leg and an away leg.

So that's a total of 154 questions + tie breakers. Admini...
