Welcome, friends, to the Scripps National Spelling Bee Finals! This is our biggest live event of the year. What you do is watch what you see on the TV, and talk about it here in the comments.
We don't have a fancy Game Thread setup because we don't have any leagues, but it's going to be awesome when we get that stuff. Here's some links anyway.

Here we go
East coast, you suck, I put this up for you.
They just did the hands-in thing where you chant something on three. “Spell!”
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Ha
Most of the kids aren’t allowed to drink soda at home so they’re stocking up while they’re here. PEDs are everywhere these days.

In case anyone else didn't know
Canadians and Puerto Ricans are allowed to compete in this, proving once again that Canada is just another state in the U.S.

So because of the crappy Anglo pronunciation

The presentation of this is very confusing
They have 2:30 to start spelling, and there’s an on-screen clock counting up for two minutes and then down for thirty seconds.
There’s a pleasant bell sound when you’re wrong. Can we get a buzzer, please?

Stop saying words like they're three words
And either these kids can’t hear or the sound system is f*cked up.

When kids are eliminated
cuz they here the wrong letter sounds and not because they can’t spell the word, it sucks.
Instant replay, guys.

In the Little League World Series, kids pick their favorite major leaguer
In the spelling bee, kids pick their favorite word.
I’d put that on a “My child” bumper sticker.
