The Geo Bee consists of four levels: classroom, school, state, and nation.  The classroom level consists of seven rounds with different questions for each student.  The winner from each class in grades four, five, and six go on to compete in the school bee.  During the next level of competition, students are asked questions until they get two wrong, at which time they are eliminated. The competition continues until there are only two contestants left.  At that point, each finalist receives three questions.  The one who gets the most questions right is the winner of the school Geography Bee.
