💨 Abstract

The Scripps National Spelling Bee has eliminated the need for a sudden tiebreaker known as a "spell-off" to decide a champion during this year's competition. Previously, the tiebreaker was required when the finals neared the end of their two-hour broadcast window. Now, judges will have more discretion to let the competition run into overtime.
