RE: Cucurbits, pumpkins, squash, squmpkins--AHHH!

Earlier in this thread, Ray mentioned the Guinness Book of World Records.
Are they considered the ruling authority on what is and what is not a
"pumpkin"? I know they have rules concerning the entries they allow in their
book -- do they insist that a pumpkin be orange, cream or yellow with no
green?

If that is the case, in order to have them recognize a fruit as a "world
record" pumpkin, we either need to accept the fact that pumpkins are orange
or we need to change their definition. I suspect the latter isn't easy. It
may have taken quite a bit of work to get them to recognize Atlantic Giants
as a pumpkin (orange or not) in the first place.

What are the rules for entry into the GBoWR?
