In 24 Game, all students complete round one with single digit cards and round two with double digit cards. The students with the highest totals in each age group proceed to semi-finals. They must solve 2 cards in the semi-finals with one solution and finally the winners of this round move to the finals. In the final round you must find one solution which solves 4 cards.
