School Duel consists of four rounds of questions, covering a variety of subject areas. The show will begin with the First Strike round, featuring 10-point toss up questions that may be answered by either team. The second round, the Joust, matches individual players head-to-head for a 10-point question, with the winner earning his/her team the chance to answer three more bonus questions worth up to 30 additional points. Round three is the Rapid Action round, where teams try to answer up to ten questions in a sixty-second time limit. The final round, the Final Showdown, consists of a series of toss-up questions, worth 20 points each.
The winning school will also receive a School Duel trophy to display at the school as well, standing over two feet tall.
