And The Alternates?
An Alternate, or 2nd place District Winner, rarely participates in the State Spelling Bee. We like to have a name on file in case of emergency. As an example, if a District Winner is sick the day before the State Bee and chooses to bow out, and we are alerted, we will contact the Alternate so he/she may participate as a representative of the District. So we’ll need all of his/her information too, including Parent/Guardian name, phone number, and e-mail address.
