on a plate in a circular fashion. The

Rules and Regulations:
¨
Each contestant will begin with 6 oysters
¨
Each contestant will be timed from the moment
they begin until the time they say they are finished. This “original
time” will be recorded.
¨
Two judges will judge the round. Each judge will score on separate criteria:
Judge#1:
Will count oysters, check for shell
fragments, cracked shells, dirt, ripped
meats, and validate the required circular presentation is used.

30 seconds are added for each missing oyster
