When both anglers end Atlas Fishing with the same number of fish caught, the game needs a way to determine the winner since there can only be one champion per match. In these nail-biting situations, victory goes to whoever tapped on their final fish first.

The tiebreaker system:

• If both players finish with identical fish counts, the winner is determined by timing
• The player who caught their final fish first claims victory
• This creates exciting moments where every second counts toward the end of the match
• Quick reflexes on that last catch can be the difference between winning and losing

Understanding connection factors:

• Due to internet latency and varying connection speeds, what you see on your screen may not perfectly reflect the server timing
• The game uses server-side data to make the final determination
• This means it might occasionally appear that the faster player lost, when actually the server recorded different timing

Strategic implications:

• Every fish matters throughout the entire match
• Speed becomes crucial as you approach your potential final catch
• Don't give up if you're tied - that last-second fish could secure your victory

This tiebreaker system ensures that even the closest matches have a clear winner, adding an extra layer of excitement to those intense fishing competitions where skill levels are perfectly matched.
