My 2 cents (heavily discounted in world
financial markets)...
It seems to me there are only a few
categories of pumpkins that were unofficial: those with genetic
flaws; those with physical flaws; those with no flaws.
A genetic flaw
would include potentially inherited things as stem splits, Dill
rings, abnormal coloration, etc.
A physical flaw would indicate
damage to the pumpkin that precludes it from being eligible in a
weighoff. This flaw would include holes and animal bites.
The
"no flaw" flaw (say that 5 times fast) would indicate that the
pumpkin was a secondary pumpkin or not entered into any
weighoff.
There are, probably, other categories of "flaws",
as well. Beyond general categorizing, I don't think tagging a pumpkin with
further info would be fruitful. Just knowing that a pumpkin has a
"flaw" should direct the grower to the AGGC immediately. There,
the grower can find out all the particulars.
