2 per family?

Title: 2 per family?
Having a partner, or significant other, is a plus in the patch.  They can water, pollinate cover for you when your gone .  Are singles at a disadvantage?  

I run a small weigh-off in Boony-ville and am thinking that the 2 per family rule should either be dropped or make it 2 per unit single or family.

We had the typical ruling that a grower had to grow their own pumpkin.  But it was obvious that there is a dominate grower that does the majority of the work.  And come weigh-off time they would just pick their 2 best shots at winning.  Or they would just share the chores and come weigh-off time pick their two best  shots.  Rarely did I find that each grower did all their own work.  Like get a soil test, amend, rototill their own patch etc....they tag team as a family.

So it was evident that the single with a single entry was at a disadvantage when it came to combined family purse.

So I decided to pool the pumpkin people for their thoughts on this subject.  Any help??
