The Kadersyrinian Quiz is a pan-Kadersyrinian quiz competition broadcast by the Kadersyrinian Islands Broadcasting Union networks since 2021, partially based on the ITV show Quizmaster.

Qualifying
All countries entering take part in qualification before the main game. They are split into groups of 6 or 7 teams, which each play each other in qualifying games.

First all players each play a simple 1-minute general knowledge quiz, where time is valuable and answers mean points. 2 points per correct answer.

Second all players play a simple game where a general knowledge question is asked and all players input a numerical answer. Closest wins 10 points.

Afterwards, players play a game of Fifteen-to-One, with just one life. Last player standing wins 20 points for their team. The team with the most points wins.

Each team in each of the sixteen groups plays each other twice. The top two in each group go through to the second qualifying round, where each play the same game again, for an eventual 32 teams to go into the group stage.

Danger Lists
Danger Lists is first, a round where contestants are tested on specific lists. Given a category, one player from each team is given 30 seconds to give as many correct answers as possible (the team can choose tactically but every player must play one round, and one round only). One point for every time the player speaks, but two points will be deducted for any incorrect answers. Repetition will incur a one point penalty.

Sabotage
Sabotage is the next round. Buzzer questions – quite long ones, the Going for Gold style – allowed players to pick from a set of ten subjects. Pick one for yourself, and pick one to give an opponent. Repeat until everyone's got two subjects. Once the topics are selected, there are three – quite tough – questions around the topic.

Need for Speed
Need for Speed is the exact reverse. Score 15 points by answering quickfire questions correctly, the fastest player to reach the target will win. Points from Sabotage are carried forward. The questions were graded, starting out very difficult and becoming noticeably easier towards the end. "Where in the body would you find sinovial fluid" moves towards "How many people appear in Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper" and eventually "Which Beatle married Yoko Ono in 1969?"

The Final
The last round is a best of 5 questions round played by the 2 best-performing quizzers from each team, worth 20 points.

Knockout Stages
The teams progress to a Last 16, then a quarter final, a semi-final and then a final. There is no third-place play-off. All rounds follow the same format as the group stage.
