So, just how does our Adult Bee work?
Pre-Bee
1. Find a couple of word-wise friends or co-workers, and create your Team of three.
2. Think about creative names, themes and attire for your Team - there will be prizes!
3. Spread the word, and dare others to team up and compete!
First Round at the Bee
4. Each Team will join two other Teams to create a ‘Swarm’.
5. There will be 8 Swarms competing in the First Round of the Bee, for a total of 24 Teams.
6. All Swarms will compete on the same word, until only one Team in each Swarm prevails.
7. But wait! As each Team in this process is eliminated, they will have a one-time chance to buy back into the Bee! The ‘Buy-Back Bee Fee’ is $50, so plan accordingly...(Hey and by the way-it only costs $50/child to provide Calmer Choice programming in the schools)
Championship and Final Bee Rounds
8. The winning Team from each Swarm will compete in the first level of the Championship Bee.
9. Each Team will compete on the same word, until two Teams remain.
10. But wait! Seeing an opportunity for a great way to raise money (this is a fundraiser, remember), we will shift gears, and hold an Open Auction for any eliminated Team from the First Bee or the Championship Bee to win a third spot in the Final Bee! (Dare we say, Bee prepared to dig deep into your wallets...)
11. Winner of the Open Auction will compete in the Final Bee against the remaining two Teams from the Championship Bee.
12. These three Teams will compete until a winning Team prevails!
