 Due to the Covid-19 pandemic causing the closure of secondary schools in early 2020, the decision was made to conduct the remaining stages (the nationals and the inter-regionals) of the competition predominantly via the video app Zoom.However, the inter-regional rounds that were not completed before the closure of schools were conducted in an all-new 'pub-quiz' style, rather than on buzzers as is usual or on Zoom as the national rounds were played.The seven (Exeter School was also to play, but dropped out and was replaced by KES B) teams in the national finals were The Perse School, Calday Grange, Dollar Academy, Westminster School, King Edward VI Grammar School Chelmsford, and Warwick School, who would have hosted the competition.
