Eligibility Rules
- Any school recognized by the Philippine Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS) was eligible to compete. It must field students who are enrolled at the school at the designated level at the time the season starts. It is unknown whether Philippine schools abroad which are recognized by DECS were technically eligible.
- For the elementary and high school levels, 1 alternate may be designated who will participate for the duration of the tournament once he or she is activated.
- For the elementary and high school levels, a school may be represented only once during the entire tournament. At the college level, a school may be represented as often as possible, provided it has not yet reached the Grand Finals. Once a competitor from a school makes the Grand Finals, other contestants from the same school will not be allowed to compete.
- As is common in televised academic quiz formats in the Philippines, which promote the 'give-chance-to-others' concept, an individual can become Grand Champion only once per level. This means that, for example, winning the elementary Grand Championship twice is not allowed, but winning 1 elementary and 1 high school Grand Championship is.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“But suppose, asks the student of the professor, we follow all your structural rules for writing, what about that “something else” that brings the book alive? What is the formula for that? The formula for that is not included in the curriculum.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
