For the first time ever, the GMAA/RSEQ High School league held a qualifier in for each region. Due to the size of the. league increasing to sixteen schools, spread across the the island of Montreal as well as off it, the league would now have a qualifying tournament for the first time ever. For this year, athletes would not have a guaranteed path to the GMAA/RSEQ Championships, but would have to qualify for the finals. The tournament would take the top four from each category and each region to make a bracket of twelve athletes for the finals.
The league would now consist of three regions: West, Central and Off-Island. Each qualifier took place on the following days:
Central Region: Wednesday February 4th at Beurling Academy
West Region Monday February 2nd at John Rennie High School
Off-Island Region: Tuesday February 3rd at Mohawk Super Bingo
The schools participating in each conference would be the following:
