North South Foundation - Spelling Bee

Spelling Bee

The spelling bee has two divisions, junior and senior. Both divisions have the same rules. In the regional stages, there is a written round (25 questions for each contestant) and an oral round (6 questions for each contestant). The contestants in the oral round will have 30 seconds to spell their word. In the finals for 2010, there is a written round( 30 words per contestant), a oral round ( 3 words per contestant),and a final elimination round based on scores from the first two rounds, which is similar to the Scripps Spelling Bee. The winner is the last one standing.
