Questions
How is it possible to have a written round in a spelling contest?!!
(Well, for those wondering how this is relevent to this blog, the Spelling Bee competition can be considered to be a mental sport!)
Update: I have another question. In cricket, the bowler's rhythm is largely determined by his run-up. Similarly, in tennis, why doesn't the consistency of the serve depend on how many feet away from the center-line does the player serve from? I never see any player marking the spot along the baseline from which he/she wants to serve.

Probably, a written round means that the answers are written, not the questions.
didnt you "dictation" tests in school in 1-2-3 grades?
My bad. Should have thought of the case where questions are not written.
Nice try: I don't remember being trained for the Spelling Bee in school :)
A tennis player needs to co-ordinate his toss and jump. That I feel is more important than where one stands. BTW, my guess is you don't play tennis.
True. I don't play tennis. And, I do agree that getting the toss and jump are vital for the serve. But, shouldn't the position from where the player serve decide the angles possible? For example, the farther from the center line the player serves, the lesser the chance of a down-the-line ace.
