Spelling Bee
The spelling bee has two divisions, junior and senior. Both divisions have the same rules. In the regional stages, there is a written round (25 questions for each contestant) and an oral round (6 questions for each contestant). The contestants in the oral round will have 30 seconds to spell their word. In the finals for 2010, there is a written round( 30 words per contestant), a oral round ( 3 words per contestant),and a final elimination round based on scores from the first two rounds, which is similar to the Scripps Spelling Bee. The winner is the last one standing.

Famous quotes containing the words spelling and/or bee:
“My spelling is Wobbly. It’s good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.”
—A.A. (Alan Alexander)
“He looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom—a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
