    Jeff B. is *BOX OFFICE POISON* Retweeted ESPN

    I've seen some mocking this outcome as "oh, everybody gets a participation trophy!" Which just tells you how ignorant they are. The rules of the contest were: 20 rounds, period. Set out in advance. There have been co-champs before, just never this many. They were all perfect.https://twitter.com/espn/status/1134311767880822784 …

        "Let's just force them to keep spelling in extra rounds until only one remains!" 1.) No, you don't change the rules of the game halfway through the game. 2.) These kids -- and they're kids! -- had been up on stage since 10:00am and you want to run them until like 5am? Blow off.

        Me, I'm in awe of these kids. I like to think of myself as a good speller with a solid vocabulary but watching the Scripps Bee will humble you every single time.

        Plus, there are only so many words - eventually, you just run out of tough ones.

        Maybe it should move to a Nightmare Mode round where they start whipping out all the words that the Australians made up.

        It’s almost as if the people complaining about everyone gets a trophy care more about tribalism and their own feelings, not objective truth. It’s tribalism based on age.

        Its almost like 'participation trophy' is a smug device employed by willfully ignorant assholes to preclude the need to understand something..

        Plus if you were watching from the 16th round on, there’s no way you could not root for all these kids to win
