There are a lot of rules. It'll take me awhile to explain them all, so I'll sum them up. The bee is conducted in rounds, each speller spelling 1 word per round. The Pronouncer says the word and the Speller has 2:30 to spell the word. They can ask for the language or origin, definition, sentence, part of speech and alternate pronounciations. The Speller must say the word before they start spelling and after they finish. Otherwise they'll be disqualified. The judges see if the word is spelled correctly. They also make sure that the speller pronounces the word correctly. Tadaaaa :) Hope that helps.
