competition as well as its rules and regulations. 2. Students are encouraged to ask the
pronouncer to repeat the word, define it
and/or use it in the sentence.

3. Students will have to write the word on the

mini whiteboard provided.
4. The Spelling bee competition is based on the
knockout round. You have to keep on spelling
the words correctly to stay in the game. Once
you misspell a word, you are out except when
only two contestants left.
5. For the final round, only two contestants will
remain. Starting from this round, the
contestants will have to come forward to the
microphone stand and spell the given word
vocally.

6. When the first speller misspells a word, the
word will be given to the second speller. If the
second speller spells the word correctly, he or
she will need to spell another word correctly
in order to be declared as champion.
7. Last but not least, the judges decisions are
final. While constructive feedbacks are most
welcome for improvements, we certainly hope
that all of us can accept the decisions as part
of good sportsmanship.

8. Regardless, the most important rule of them

all is to relax and have fun.
With that, I will pass the microphone to our
pronouncer to navigate the competition in our
quest of finding the champion of spelling bee.
