Seattle Spelling Bee hiatus
Hello spelling enthusiasts! It is with a heavy dictionary that I must inform you that the Seattle Spelling Bee will unfortunately be on hiatus for a while. There is just too much on my plate right now and I am not able to dedicate the time and effort that the Seattle Spelling Bee and all of its participants deserve. The Seattle Spelling Bee is undoubtedly one of the high points of each month and I wish I had more time in the month to make it happen but that's just not the case at the moment.Keep on spelling!
Format
In the first portion of the evening competitors will write down each of the 40 words read by the host. After the results are tabulated the top twelve spellers will move on to the verbal portion of the contest where it is do or die. One miss and you're out. The best speller of the night will receive $25 off of their tab while the runner up receives $15 off. Entry fee is only five dollars for an evening full of words and spectators can watch for free! As always, there will be mini-games with prizes available for spellers and spectators alike.
