In
this
fine
round,
the
elimination
process
will
stay
similar
to
the
other
competition
rounds
of
the
day.
Speller
a
will
be
called
to
the
microphone.
To
spell
the
word:
if
she
spells
the
word
correctly,
then
speller
B
will
be
called
to
the
microphone
and
given
the
word
to
spell
is
solid.
B
is
correct,
then
the
round
will
end
and
a
new
round
will
begin
with
both
spellers.
G
If
speller
a
spells
the
word
incorrectly,
then
she
will
remain
on
stage
and
speller
B
will
be
called
to
the
microphone
and
given
a
new
word,
to
spell,
if
spell
a
be
spells
this
word
correctly,
then
the
round
will
be
over
and
the
championship
round
would
starts
with
only
speller
B
speller
B
would
then
be
given
a
championship
word
to
spell
correctly.
If
that
word
is
spelled
correctly,
then
we
will
have
our
champion.
If
the
word
is
spelled
incorrectly,
then
we
would
continue
the
spelling
bee
with
both
spellers
and
then
through
round
would
begin.
