F-U-R-I-O-U-S over spelling bee ruling

RENO, Nevada (AP) -- She spelled it right. The judge said it was wrong. And she's not getting a second chance.
Reno, Nevada, eighth-grader Sara Beckman spelled "discernible" correctly during a spelling bee Tuesday at the University of Nevada, Reno. But the judge rang the bell anyway.
Her parents are furious, but organizers say they had to protest the call immediately. They say they waited until the bee was over to avoid interrupting.
A school spokesman likens it to a referee's call in an NFL game. The protest has to come before the next play starts.
