The Krystal Square Off twitter has a link to a blog entry announcing that this year’s finals will take place on September 27. The blog also announces two new rules changes: one will limit “detritus”, the second modification is not described.
As for the other change, Brad Wahl, the vice president of marketing at The Krystal Company, shared, “Let’s just say it’s a really big change; one that will make this year’s competition the most exciting in the six-year history of the Krystal Square Off. Much like the way the three-point shot revolutionized the game of basketball, this new rule will drastically alter the way eaters approach our contest from a strategic level.â€
