The Scripps National Spelling Bee has no authority over the conduct of local spelling bees (namely, spelling bees other than the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.).
Contest Rules of the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. These rules, obtainable through www.spellingbee.com after February 1, 2006, contain provisions that are specific to unique conditions at the national finals, and their successful implementation at the local level is considered impossible and therefore is not recommended.
While this option is no longer used at the Scripps National Spelling Bee finals, it is sometimes best and easiest to administer this option at local spelling bees because many adults are more familiar with it and because there are fewer difficulties associated with prize distribution and local spelling bee qualification schemes.
