After 30 seconds, the announcer will give a visual indication. The whole word has to be completely pronounced in 1 minute else the point will not be awarded. If the participant has started to spell before 1 minute is over, it is upon announcer's discretion to let the participant continue.

Having started to spell a word in oral competition, a speller may stop and start over,
retracing the spelling from the beginning; in retracing, however,
there can be no change of letters or their sequence from those first pronounced.
If letters or their sequence is changed in the respelling, the point is not given.

Spellers onstage may not use devices to time themselves or other spellers.

Judges decision will be final
