RULES & GUIDELINE
The RanChris WordMasters Spelling Bee is designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and an enriching experience for all participants. While our official Rules & Guidelines PDF provides comprehensive instructions covering all stages — Preliminary, Semi-Finals, and Finals — this year’s spelling bee will be hosted as 2-day event.
⚠️ Important: All rules contained in the PDF still apply. The only difference is that the competition will not be spread over three days. Future events will follow the standard 3-day format strictly, with separate rounds for Preliminary, Semi-Finals, and Finals.
