WHAT the w-h-a-t?
Here’s how it works: Spellers start off with one free beer on the house, to settle their nerves. We call it “spellin’ juice.” Then they get a number. Then they spell words in the order of the number around their necks. If they spell the word correctly, they get another free drink and move on to the next round. If they spell it wrong, they’re out.
The difficulty increases every round. Spellers can ask for definitions, languages of origin, parts of speech, and (our favorite) a moderately helpful and possibly offensive sentence using the word. Any spellers left standing after Round Four will enter the lightning round. Last speller standing wins a lovely prize and INFINITE GLORY. And maybe a t-shirt, if we have one handy.
