flat pumpkins

hi to all
 I was wondering what opinion everyone has on what ultimately effects
the shape of a giant pumpkin.  Is it totally genetic, or do
environmental as well as nutritional factors all effect it to some
degree?.  The seeds I used two years ago were of the Dill variety and my
pumpkins all had a flatter squashed look to them.  This year I was
fortunate to have several of Chris Anderson's 977 as well as 815's and
the pumpkins I grew again had more of the flatter appearance to them.
Just was wondering what, if anything I need to correct. . Is it the
seeds or other factors? Looking at the pictures posted, I know that they
can actually be somewhat round! Sure would be nice to grow something
that water ran off of not sat on top of !!
Thanks for the time!
