When the official announces the contest is over, no more shrimp may be put in your mouth or consumed by the contestant. Contestants may chew and swallow any shrimp already in their mouth. If no contestant has finished all 3lbs, final consumption weights will be verified and a winner will be announced. In the event of a tie, winners will be determined by an “overtime” contest. The “overtime” contest will be one minute in length (60sec) and will require those who tied to eat as much shrimp within the one minute (60sec) time period. The “overtime” contest will continue until the tie is broken, or until one contestant concedes.
