Official Protocol

Tournament Rules of Engagement

Fair, standardized, and internationally aligned spelling protocols.

Contestant Permitted Inquiries

Before spelling, contestants may politely ask the Pronouncer for:

1. Repetition: "Please pronounce the word again."
2. Definition: "What is the official dictionary definition?"
3. Part of Speech: "What part of speech is this word?"
4. Sentence Usage: "Please use the word in a sentence."
5. Language of Origin: "What is the language of origin?"

The "Pronounce-Spell-Pronounce" Rule

To ensure complete clarity between the speller and the judges, spellers must follow the golden rule:

Example: "CONSCIENTIOUS"

"Conscientious... C - O - N - S - C - I - E - N - T - I - O - U - S... Conscientious."

*Note: Once a letter is uttered, it cannot be changed. Spellers may re-trace their letters from the start, but any altered letter constitutes a disqualification.
