Spellers face new rules as national bee opens in Washington
Megan McFall 13 from Ohio still competes after first day with 104 others among 249 contestants. Kristina Rodriguez 14 from Texas tests limits of disqualification policy over phrasing of difficult word glycolytic. The contest includes tense moments over timing and word meanings as spellers persevere for a $10 000 prize and a spot in the finals. Jamaica returns next year after being barred for early local contests.
