Splits

At what point does a stem split disqualify a pumpkin? I have two pumpkins with splits in the pumpkin just below the stem. They are approx. 1" deep, 2" long, and 1/4" wide. On one pumpkin, I was able to dry it up and heal it, the other is still "wet". Both pumpkin splits do not go all the way through to the inner cavity. Do they still qualify? Will the pumpkin with a seeping split be disqualified even though the hole does not yet enter the seed cavity? How about the dry split that has healed? It would be no fun to go through all the effort to transport one of these to find out it was no good.
