Ties that do not affect the selection of the 60 official calendar winners or the Top 3 overall rankings will not require a tie breaker.

The next highest ranked eligible contestant, based on the final verified voting results provided by the independent third party administrator, will be selected to fill the available position. All replacement winners must meet the same eligibility, identification, and verification requirements as the original selected winners.
