REGISTRATION: Only competitors must register, but spectators are welcome and encouraged.The Garland County Library challenges the self-proclaimed wordsmiths of the community to participate in its third Adult Spelling Bee! Anyone age 18 or older is welcome to compete in this free, daring showdown to determine the greatest speller in Garland County. The first place speller will win a Samsung tablet. The top 3 finalists will get medals.
This Bee follows an unofficial, modified format, to be more casual/beginner friendly, adapted by library staff from the Scripps National Spelling Bee rules. Spellers will be eliminated after just a single incorrectly spelled word. Spellers will keep spelling until only one person successfully passes a round, and a champion can be declared.
Each speller will have a brief time limit to respond. Each speller may request that the judges repeat the word’s pronunciation, and/or give its definition, example in a sentence, or part of speech. Any misunderstanding of a word is the fault of the competitor. Word difficulty will range from everyday, but commonly misspelled words, to the most obscure depths of the dictionary.
