Question

5．Spellmasters Spelling Competitions
Spellmasters Spelling Competitions are open to all school children aged 15 years old or younger．There are two divisions：Junior and Senior．
•Words used in all competitions will be chosen from The Macquarie Dictionary．
•The competition is conducted orally．Once the pronouncer has given the speller the word to spell，the speller should say the word aloud so that the judges can hear it clearly．
•Once the speller has repeated his word，he has one and a half minutes to complete the spelling．At the 60-second mark，the speller will be informed （e．g．ring of a bell） that he has 30 seconds left to complete the spelling．A second ring of the bell at 90 seconds will show that time is up．If the speller hasn't completed the spelling of his word at the 90-second mark，he is immediately disqualified．
•The speller may ask the pronouncer to say the word again，define it，use it in a sentence，provide the part of speech or provide the language of origin．The pronouncer shall accept all such requests until the judges agree that the word has been made clear to the speller．Root word questions will not be accepted．
•Once a speller starts to spell the word，each letter he says can't be changed．The speller may choose to pause and then continue with the spelling of the word．
•Upon confirmation by the judges，the speller will be advised of a correct or incorrect result．The pronouncer will spell the word correctly immediately following an incorrect judgement．
•Winners，2nd and 3rd places will attend Final Championships．
