Describing the newly added Senior High Schools as wild card entrants, the NSMQ organizer said as non-seeded Regional/Zonal champions, the four added second cycle schools will begin their journey from the One-eight stage.
Slated for October this year, the preliminary stage will be held on October 14 to 17, one-eight on October 19 to 21, the quarter-final on October 23 to 25, the semi-final on October 27 and the grand finale on October 30, 2024.
