Spelling Bees

So I'm curious (aka nosey). What type of spelling bees did you have in elementary school and/or high school?

I remember in fourth grade, my teacher would say a word, and the students would spell the word one letter at a time. Every time the next student said the next letter, he had to say to the letters which preceded it. Example:

Teacher: CAT
Johnny: C
Elizabeth: C-A
Michael: C-A-T

It was cool. That was back when I smart-I seriously think I won every spelling bee. What a dork :p
