Taro T Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 How the #### do you 'run out of words?' Couldn't they have simply had some rapper make up new ones for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Bad premise, there is no outrage. Sorry... Gonna have to poo poo this premise too. :nana: Boy Beer, you are just whiffing away lately. Yes, there are ties in spelling bees. There have been 4 ties in the last 80+ years. This was the first one in 52 years. "They are not competing against each other, they are competing against the dictionary." That's how it has always been, especially when they exhaust the final rounds list of words. "...It's the first time the bee has ended in a tie in more than 50 years. The last time there were co-champions was in 1962, organizers said. Ties also ended the bees in 1950 and 1957..."

Except for the outrage! How the #### do you 'run out of words?' Couldn't they have simply had some rapper make up new ones for them? Because they only a lot 24 or 25 for the final round. Think of it as a "timed" contest. I heard that there was a spelling bee and both misspelled the last word ergo no winner Yep... Good thing it wasn't: beagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
