  6. Spelling Bee Rules

  7. Pronouncer • Mrs. Herring, our computer teacher. • The pronouncer tries to pronounce the words clearly for each speller. If a word has one or more homonyms, the pronouncer indicates which word is to be spelled by defining the word.

  8. Judges • Mrs. Jennings, our school principal; Mrs. Holmes, our librarian. • The judges uphold the rules and determine whether or not words are spelled correctly. The judges participate in the exchange of information between the speller and pronouncer if they feel that clarification is needed. Also, the judges listen carefully to the speller's pronunciation of the word; and, if they sense that the speller has misunderstood the word, the judges work with the speller and pronouncer until they are satisfied that reasonable attempts have been made to assist the speller in understanding the word.

  9. The speller may ask the pronouncer to: • Say the word again. • Define it. • Use it in a sentence. • Provide the part of speech. • Provide the language(s) of origin and/or provide an alternate pronunciation or pronunciations.

  10. The speller may choose to note the capitalization of a word, but this is not a requirement. • The speller may repeat the word before and after spelling it, but this is not a requirement. • The speller may restart the spelling of a word, but must not make any changes in the spelling.

  11. End-of-bee procedure • If all spellers in a round misspell: If none of the spellers remaining in the spelling bee at the start of a round spells a word correctly during that round, all remain in the competition and a new round begins.

  12. If only one speller in a round spells correctly: If only one speller spells correctly in a round, a new one-word round begins and the speller is given an opportunity to spell the next word on the list (anticipated championship word). If the speller succeeds in correctly spelling the anticipated championship word in this one-word round, the speller is declared the champion.

  13. VERY IMPORTANT: If a speller misspells the anticipated championship word in a one-word round: A new round begins with ALL the spellers who spelled (correctly and incorrectly) in the previous round. These spellers spell in their original order.
