EHKS-HUH-BIH-SHUN ONLY; NO WAY-JUHR-ING: And with round 3 complete (and likely one round remaining this afternoon), it is time to open the 2006 ALOTT5MA Spelling Bee Pool.
The rules are simple: Select two spellers, only one of whom can be from among the five rock stars for whom this is at least a fourth attempt at glory (all of whom are profiled here). You will get one point for each word your spellers correctly spell during Thursday’s rounds, which begin at noon (EDT) on ESPN tomorrow. Most points wins; tiebreaker will be whoever has the individual speller going the furthest.
While individual spellers can be used more than once, you cannot repeat the same pairing that someone else has already submitted. First come, first served...and if one of your spellers is eliminated during this afternoon’s rounds, you’re stuck with him (or her). So you might want to wait until after this afternoon’s rounds to enter. Or not, if you’re feeling lucky.
Because of “privacy concerns”, the Bee isn’t providing biographical info on the competitors this year. Google wisely.
As always, your sole prizes are Internet fame and glory forever (or at least as long as this site’s archives remain available), and nothing more. Good luck to all.
