The Olympiad consists of four rounds. Round one (school level) is where only two learners from each grade in their school move to the next round.
The second round is on the circuit level, where only two learners from each grade in their circuit move on to the district level.
The district winners move on to the provincial level, where the top 10 learners from each grade in the province are acknowledged as the winners.
