Rounds and format

How entries are judged

Frequently asked questions
How can a participant best prepare for the progressive difficulty of the competition?

How is the 'miss-and-out' format in oral rounds managed to reduce pressure?
The oral rounds are conducted one-on-one online to provide a focused environment. Judges are trained to be clear and patient. Participants can ask for repetitions or definitions to ensure fairness.
Beyond spelling, what skills does this competition develop in a student?
