necessitate (a round ends after the 1 hour, 55 minute point of the broadcast), all remaining players participate in a spell-off where each speller is given the same list of words and one minute, thirty seconds to spell as many words as possible; the player must press a buzzer to inform the official they are ready for the next word; each speller is sequestered until it is their turn to compete. The definition, language of origin, and part of speech of each word is displayed on a monitor. The speller is allowed to ask questions of the pronouncer, however, they are using their own time to do so. The winner would be the speller that spelled the most words correctly in the round (words not completed within the time do not count towards the tally). In case of a tie, the player with the better percentage of correctly spelled words from the words the player was given wins. If multiple players have the same number and percentage of correctly spelled words, the event is a tie and co-champions are crowned. The playoff format was first implemented in 2021, and the first tiebreaker was used in 2022.

In 2007, the prize was $ 50,000 in cash, but in 2009, the prize dropped to $ 35,000 in cash and more than $ 5,000 in prizes. In 2012, the prize dropped yet again to $ 30,000 in cash and just over $ 10,000 in prizes, savings bonds, and scholarships. In 2015, the prize increased to $ 38,600 in cash, and increased again in 2016 to $ 40,000 cash prize, where it stayed the same until 2018, when the prize was increased to $ 50,000 cash, which was equivalent to the cash prize eleven years before.

Spellers are given a 30-second pause in which to write down their word with the two pens given to them, and then Bailly repeated the word and all information. There was another 30-second pause, and then they moved onto the next word. Each correctly spelled word on the Round One written test was worth one point. In 2011, they stayed with that format. In 2012, they changed to the original computerized test, 50 spelling words, half scored and half not scored.
