Spell Bee
Spell Bee is a popular literary event in which contestants are asked to spell a
broad selection of words, usually with a varying degree of difficulty.
1. Format and Rules:
 Spell Bee requires participants to listen to a word being given to them by
the “pronouncer” and attempt to spell it correctly as he/she may have
heard it.
 Spell Bee requires a pronouncer who is responsible for pronouncing the
words that need to be spelt and also providing definitions, usage,
synonyms or any other grammatical aid.
 Spell Bee will also require a moderator to ensure fairness in the
competition and determine the amount of reasonable help that can be
given to a participant.
RULES:
 In the competition, after the pronouncer gives the speller a word, the
speller will be encouraged to say the word out loud before spelling it and
after spelling it. If a speller forgets to say the word before or after, the
judge may not disqualify the speller. However, pronouncing the word
helps in two ways.
1) The pronouncer will know that the speller has heard the word correctly
if he or she pronounces it before beginning to spell it.
2) Saying the word after spelling it will let the judges know that the
speller has finished.
 The speller may ask the pronouncer to say the word again, define it,
and/or use it in a sentence. The pronouncer shall grant all such requests
until the moderator agrees that the word has been made reasonably clear
to the contestant. Moderators may disqualify any speller who ignores a
request to start spelling.
43
 Having started to spell a word, a speller may stop and start over, retracing
the spelling from the beginning, BUT in retracing there can be NO
change of letters or their sequence from those first pronounced. If any
letters or their sequence is changed in the respelling, the speller will be
eliminated. In other words, a speller can’t correct himself, even while it is
still his or her turn.
 There will not an official time limit for each word in this particular
spelling bee.
 The contest shall be conducted in rounds, the details of which will be
disclosed on the day of the competition.
 If a word has one or more homonyms (like bear and bare), the pronouncer
will indicate which word is to be spelled. If the listed word is not properly
identified, either by defining it or using it in a sentence, any correct
spelling of any homonym of the word will be accepted.
 Misspelling: Upon incorrectly spelling a word, the speller immediately
drops out of the competition. If all of the members of a round misspell
their words, a new round begins, with everyone participating in the same
order as before.
 Moderator is in complete control of the competition. His decisions are
final. Spelling bees are like sporting events in which referees call the
plays as they see them. Players don’t always agree with the decisions or
like them, but accept them as part of good sportsmanship.
2. Participation:
 Any student eligible to participate in THOMSO-2014 can be a part of
Spell Bee.
 Speakers from IIT Roorkee will also be allowed to participate
 Spell Bee requires contenders to register on the spot.
 No previous speaking experience is required.
 There will be eliminating rounds. The event will be in English only.
