The 25 words above were given to the record-breaking total of 275 contestants this morning in Round 1 (the
Written Round) of the
National Spelling Bee. ESPN does a live feed of the Preliminary Championship Rounds tomorrow morning from 9am to noon (PDT), and
ABC will broadcast the finale tomorrow night from 8pm-10pm. But if you want some real insight into this competition, check out the
Spellbound DVD.
Gosh, it seems like a million years since
my NSB meltdown... ;-)
