Rules for the Competition

1. General Format

   The competition will be conducted in rounds. Each student will spell one word per round. Once a student misspells a word, they are eliminated from the competition. If all remaining spellers in a round misspell their word, all will be reinstated and a new round will begin with a new set of words. The last speller remaining is the champion.

2. Speller's Protocol
   • When a speller comes to the microphone, they should pronounce the word before spelling it. This confirms they have heard the word correctly.
   • Spellers must say each letter clearly and audibly. It is encouraged to pronounce the word again after spelling it, which signals to the judges that they have finished.
   • Spellers may ask for the word to be repeated, defined, used in a sentence, or for its language of origin. The pronouncer will grant all reasonable requests.
   • Once a speller begins to spell a word, they may stop and restart, but they cannot change the letters or the sequence they first pronounced. A change in a letter or its order will result in a disqualification.
3. Officials and Judging
   • The competition will be overseen by a pronouncer and a panel of judges. The pronouncer is responsible for giving the words and responding to spellers' requests.
   • The judges' primary role is to determine if a word has been spelled correctly.
   • The judges' decision on all matters, including spelling, is final.
   • The official source for all spellings will be [e.g., The Oxford English Dictionary]. If a word has multiple accepted spellings, any of them will be considered correct.
4. Final Rounds
   • When only two spellers remain, the rules change to an elimination and championship procedure. When one speller misspells a word, the other speller must correctly spell that word and the next word on the list to be declared the champion.
   • If the first speller misses a word and the second speller corrects it but then misspells the championship word, the chance goes back to the first speller, who must then correctly spell the missed word and a new word.
5. Audience and Conduct
   • The audience must remain silent during the competition to avoid distracting spellers.
   • Any form of cheating or unsportsmanlike conduct, including receiving help from the audience, will result in immediate disqualification.
   • No personal devices are allowed on stage.
