Can you answer my question about a specific eligibility concern?

If there are steps you can take now to preclude ineligibility, take those steps. If your student has qualified for the 2016 Scripps National Spelling Bee and has eligibility concerns, the student\'s parents should promptly contact the national office.
Is it okay to use a School Competition List from a prior year?
| We recommend that you use only the 2012 School Pronouncer Guide for your school bee, as it draws words from the 2012 official study list. |
Can I use an older competition list for my school spelling bee?
We recommend that you use only the 2016 School Pronouncer Guide for your school bee, as it draws words from the official 2016 School Spelling Bee Study List.
Can I give the School Competition List to my school spelling champion to study?
The 2016 School Pronouncer Guide is not a study guide and should not be given to your school champion.
