    I. Elimination Round

    1. Participants should provide their own writing sheets / cardboard. Chalks will be given by the Bee

    spelling of every contestant.

    2. There will be three sub rounds: easy, average and difficult.

    3. There will be 10 words to be given for each sub rounds by the Bee Master.

    4. The Bee Master will pronounce each word twice and give an aid to word identification. Countdown
    will start after the word has been pronounced the second time by the Bee Master

    5. Contestants will be given a maximum of 20 seconds to simultaneously write the word on the
    writing sheet provided.

    6. Should a participant wish to change the spelling that he/she has written down, the first one should
    be crossed out with one horizontal line and the new and final spelling, be written clearly above the
    crossed-out word. A participant is allowed to change his/her answer within the time allotted for a
    particular word.

    7. Those who spelled six (6) to ten (10) words correctly will continue in the Bee, while those who
    correctly spelled only five (5) words and below will be eliminated from the round.

    II. Final Round

    1. When participants are reduced to five (5), participants will not be allowed to write the word upon
    spelling it but he/she has to spell it orally. Every round, each contestant will pick up his/her own
    word to be spelled among the rolled papers provided and give it to the Bee Master
    2. The Bee Master will pronounce the word, identify the part of speech and use it in a sentence or
    use it in a sentence.
    3. The contestant, in 30 second-time, will then pronounce the word, spell the word, and pronounce
    the word again.
    4. The Head Judge will have the responsibility for stopping the student if he/she fails to pronounce
    the word.
    5. The participant must:
     Pronounce the word before the spelling
     Look at the Bee Master when spelling the word
     Pronounce the word again after the word is spelled
     Speak clearly and loudly
    6. If the student still begins to spell without pronouncing the word, he/she will be disqualified from
    the contest.
    7. The participant shall have 10 seconds from the time he/she pronounces the word until he/she must
    begin spelling the word.
    8. Once the participant begins spelling the word, he/she will have 20 seconds remaining time to
    complete the spelling of the word.
    9. Having started to spell a word, a student may stop and start over, retracing the spelling from the
    beginning. However, in the retracing, there can be no change of letters and their sequence from
    those first pronounced. If any letter and/or their sequence are changed in the respelling, the
    speller will be disqualified.
    10. When a participant misspells a word, he/she immediately drops out of the contest. The pattern
    will continue until one of the contestants is declared the champion.
