spelling it.

the pupil has made a mistake.
4. The pronouncer strives to pronounce words clearly.
5. The pronouncer responds to the speller’s requests for a definition, sentence, part of speech,
and alternate pronunciation(s).
6. The pronouncer may offer word information without the speller having requested that
information if the pronouncer senses that the information is helpful.
7. The judges uphold the rules and determine whether or not words are spelled correctly. They
are in complete control of the competition, and their decision is final on all questions.
8. The judges encourage spellers to face them when pronouncing and spelling the word.
9. The teachers ensure that all spellers and audience members are given an opportunity to
receive a complete copy of the rules prior to the start of the Spelling Bee.
