Prizewinner Pumpkins


Can the "OTT" system of measurement graphs used for AG pumpkins be used to give the estimated weight of a Prizewinner pumpkin or do they need to be adjusted for the variety of pumpkin? Also, does anybody have any experience with using their seeds from a homegrown Prizewinner pumpkin for the following years patch? How did the following years crop compare to the first year, larger/smaller?  I have one Prizewinner that is at 166 pounds (ott) with great shape and color and was wondering if I should save the seeds for next year.  I don't know what the cross was, it could have been with an AG flower.  Someone once told me that the Prizewinner is a hybrid and therefore the seeds are better produced by the professional grower.  I do not have a clue on whether or not this could be true.
Thanks in advance for any information.
