Re: Process for Revising WPC OR GPC Rules?


     
     
     Duncan,
     
     I believe i can do it without a hole in it!!
     and if i can you surely can too!!
     if at vfirst you dont succeed try try again.
     besides if you had a pumpkin that big you would sleep with it
     to make sure it didn't get a hole in it. that and uncle bill
     is the one that should be worried anyway, cause we all know
     that he grows bigger pumkins than you do.
     rules are rules!!

What is the process to submit a revision to the WPC or GPC rules?
     
My goal is to get the World Record and I am concerned that some day I 
might have a hole which disqualifies my pumpkin for claiming the world 
record. 
     
Does the Guinness Book of Records have any rules about this? 
     
Are their rules base from the WPC and GPC rules for weighing a pumpkin? 
     
Would a hole disqualify my pumpkin for a world record?  
     
I would be willing to open my pumpkin to prove I am not cheating.  I 
know you think I am full of  BS, but I think it should be discussed now 
before it happens to someone. I like to see both pumpkin groups 
(GPC/WPC) come up with some type of ruling please.  I would hate to be a 
one man show on this issue. Maybe the AGPVS will start the process for 
98 and the WPC and GPC will follow.  Remember, I feel pumpkin growing in 
for fun and it is a friendly competition to beat your local growers. I 
enjoy seeing my daughters eyes when she sees a large pumpkin. To me this 
is worth allot more than prize money.  I would still take the prize 
money though but I sure would like the World Record.
     
Does anyone have any comments on this thread?   Don't we all believe we 
can grow that large pumpkin someday?
