Competition timeline

From Regional Round to Global Final

The season runs in three stages, and each one qualifies you for the next. Choose a stage to see how it works and to find its rounds in the calendar below.

Fees should never decide who competes. If the quoted fee is a barrier for one of your students, your school can nominate them for a Quadathlon Cup Scholarship — a four-minute nomination, no financial documents.

Calendar & Registration

Every round in one place, with dates, venues and registration links. The competition runs in three stages: the Regional Rounds first, then the Championship Rounds for those who qualify, and finally the Global Final at the University of Cambridge.
