Re: Question for list members & weigh off officials

Hi Bill -

I know you are in Canada, and I don't know how much U.S. news you follow, 
but perhaps you could send the pumpkin/squash question to the good folks 
down in Florida and let them hash it out!

Barbara, Tim??  Any input from you Floridians??

The Rules say; both GPC & WPC.  25% + green -blue or grey is squash.

Looking at all the pictures - there seems to be a great variance from site to site
in what is called  pumpkin & what is called squash  470 + pictures.

We are forming a new association, this subject came up at our last weigh off,
we would like direction & definite means of deciding pumpkin or squash before
making rules that apply to our weigh off only.

One comment made was that the rules do not exclude the bottom of the pumpkin
in the %. color.

Any advice from anyone with past experience will be greatly appreciated before we make
rules & have no means other than human preferences to decide this issue. I thank you.
