The contest has entered the next stage, which many regards as the class of titans because this is the stage where many big shots come face to face with each other, even though undesired. But by the fate of the ballot, some will definitely meet.

The atmosphere at the RS Amegarshie Auditorium at the University of Ghana was completely electrifying as some big names pickup slots to be paired against each other.

Excitingly some of the slots are a complete regional clash of schools from the same region, and if there is any regional score or rivalry this will be the stage to settle it.

The pairing has created two major complete regional supremacy shows, where all three schools are from the same region. These are:

Central Supremacy: Mfantsipim School, St. Augustine's College, Swedru SHS

Ashanti Supremacy: Opoku Ware SHS, Kumasi Anglican SHS, Osei Kyeretwie SHS

There are other contests which have more or less another regional supremacy contest such as the one featuring Achimota and Aquinas from Accra, and Mawuli against Ola Girls from the Volta region.
