A
Audience
members

I'd
like
to
go
over
four
important
rules.
Number
one.
Please
place
your
cell
phones
on
silence
so
as
to
not
disturb
our
spellings
number.
Two
please
always
remain
quiet
and
allow
our
participants
to
focus
any
sort
of
help
from
the
audience
to
participants
is
strictly
forbidden
number
three:
we
request
that
our
all
participants
stay
until
the
end
of
this
event.
A
Spellers.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
today.
I
am
so
excited
to
start
this
bee
with
you
guys,
but
first
I
want
to
give
you
some
quick
information
about
today's
spelling
bee
pay
close
attention,
because
this
is
how
the
bee
works
when
it
is
your
turn
to
spell
I'm
going
to
say
the
word
another,
and
at
that
time
you
may
ask
for
the
following.
You
may
ask
for
the
definition
of
the
word.
A
You
may
ask
me
to
repeat
the
word
up
to
three
times
and
you
can
ask
me
to
use
the
word
in
a
sentence
when
you
are
ready
to
begin
spelling.
I
want
you
to
remember
to
say
the
word
spell
the
word,
and
now
this
is
very
important.
I
want
you
to
remember
to
say
the
word
once
you're
finished,
so
the
judges
and
I
know
you're
done.
A
A
So
you
would
go
like
this
mess
m
e
s
s
mess
once
you
begin
to
spell
the
word
you
can
stop
and
go
back,
but
you
cannot
change
the
letters.
You've
already
said.
Okay,
did
everyone
get
that
you
cannot
change
the
letters
that
you've
already
said?
Okay,
let's
do
a
quick
recap
remember
to
say
the
word
spell
the
word
and
then
say
the
word
again
make
sure
to
go
slowly
and
take
your
time
and
spell
out
the
word
in
your
head
because
remember
you
cannot
change
the
spelling
of
a
word
once
you've
already
said
it.
A
Okay,
and
as
always,
you
can
ask
me
for
the
definition
of
the
word
to
say
the
word
again
or
to
use
it
in
a
sentence.
Got
it.
Okay,
once
you
are
done,
I
will
rely
on
the
judges.
Who
will
tell
me
whether
the
word
was
spelled
correctly.
If
you
spell
the
word
correctly,
you
may
sit
back
down
in
your
assigned
seat.
If
you
spell
the
word
incorrectly,
you
may
go.
Join
your
parents
in
the
audience
and
I
will
share
the
correct
spelling
with
everyone.
A
Good
luck
to
everyone.
How's
everybody
how's,
everybody
feeling
is
everyone
ready?
Yes,
I
know
this
next
part
is
tough,
but
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
try
to
relax
and
take
a
deep
breath
before
you
get
up
here
and
talk
to
the
microphone.
Remember,
take
your
time
and
go
slow.
You
got
this
we're
all
very
proud
and
honored
that

sharing
your

we
have

means
we

at
this

the
rules
change
a
little
bit.
I
lost
the
first
participant.
To
spell
the
word,
and
if
the
participant
spells
the
word
correctly,
I'll
go
to
the
next
participant.
However,
if
the
participant
misspells,
the
word
I,
will
ask
the
next
participant.

However,
if
the
participant
misspells
the
word,
then
the
next
person
will
have
a
chance
to
spell
that

word
correctly,
and
if
they
spell
that
word
correctly,
they
have
to
spell
one
additional
more
word
correctly.
