Spellers who are eliminated from the competition in the same round are assigned the same rank (place). If Bee officials declare co-champions, each co-champion will receive a $30,000 first place cash prize. Cash prizes for Championship Finalist spellers who are tied for places other than first place will be determined in accordance with the method described in this example: If three spellers are tied for fourth place, the cash prize for these three spellers will be determined by adding the prize amounts for fourth, fifth and sixth place and dividing by three (the number of spellers tied for fourth place).
