The Scripps National Spelling Bee is adding a new wrinkle in 2017 in yet another attempt to stop a streak of ties for the championship. This year, the top spellers will sit for a written tiebreaker test before they begin spelling words in the primetime finale. The results will be revealed only if two or three spellers get through the final rounds unscathed. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File)
