The situation reportedly began after St Augustine’s College challenged a decision over an answer during one of the contest rounds.

The school appealed for the point to be awarded to its team, but what started as a scoring dispute reportedly escalated, with teachers and students from the participating schools becoming involved in the disagreement.
