The 83rd Scripps National Spelling Bee was an event held from June 2, 2010 to June 4, 2010 at the Grand Hyatt Washington, Washington D.C., United States of America. == Competition details== * 273 spellers participated in the 2010 competition, including the greatest number of U.S. based spellers in the history of the event. There was also a special guest, the Liberian spelling bee winner, who would have been #94 if she had been a competitor. *The number of participants was down from last year, which had 293. The Canadian contingent, which usually has 21 spellers only sent the winner of the Canspell National Spelling Bee to represent Canada this year. * The 2010 competition was the shortest National Spelling Bee on record, consisting of only nine rounds. More meaningfully, it featured the fewest rounds of any competition since the introduction in 2000 of a written test designed to shorten the competition by eliminating as many spellers as would several early rounds. * This year's competition was the first visit for 110 spellers. * The 2010 competition's youngest participant, at 8 years old, was Vanya Shivashankar, sister of the 2009 winner Kavya Shivashankar. * The spellers ranged in age from 8 to 15 years old, with 80% being between 12 and 14 years old (inclusive). * Tim Ruiter, who placed 2nd in the 2009 bee and was a favorite to win, was eliminated in round four. * Neetu Chandak, who placed 8th in 2009 and was making her fourth appearance at the National Spelling Bee, misspelled ''paravane'' in round 5 but was reinstated because she received an ambiguous answer to a question about the word's etymology. In the next round, however, she was eliminated on ''apogalacteum''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「83rd Scripps National Spelling Bee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
