All Preliminary Round competitions start at 8am and finish at 5pm the same day. An informal presentation will follow shortly afterwards and once all the marks have been tallied, a local presentation will take place sometime in the near future where the regional winners will be announced. Please note the finalists will not be known until after the last Preliminary Round has been run and all marks counted nationally.
