Curious: Does this not have the tendency to drive the larger pumpkins to another weigh off ?

To have a competitive sport there has to be success & failure. First & last. Other wise why
have a competition at all.  The view from here.

PS: I've been & expect to be again at both end's of this spectrum , but's that's what makes it a competition.

I agree  Bill.  Thats what makes it tough as an organizer.  You don’t want to get too”Warm and Fuzzy”  You lose the spirit of competition.   What  I was looking at was  does the 2 cash prizes  make good sense if your trying to promote participation and competition .  Fortunately nature keeps the growing game honest .  But where the problem lies is if you have the smartest and strongest dogs always getting the food  the others will give up and  die.  And as a promoter you don’t want that so you have to throw them a bone to keep them alive so they can get strong and smart too and remain hopeful and diligent.........MB
