Re: INDIANA STATE RECORD/ Integrity ?

If the pumpkin would have lasted one more hour it most definately would have been offical. And that doesn't change the fact that it was rotting inside. I don't think this is a matter of if there was interal rot, but at what time did it show itself externally. If it didn't show up until after the weighing, I say his record should be offical, regardless of how long after the weighing the interal rot showed itself externally.

Wayne,
Tom is also my friend just as you are. He already knows I can't stand this whole thing. I did confer with the judges as the site coordinator before a final decision was made. But one thing is for sure, I am not going to influence that decision one way or another. Any of you who think I should have need to review your ethics. I am the Site Coordinator not a judge. The judges looked at it from a couple different angles. Yes, it started leaking while still on the scale but it also passed their full inspection 30 seconds prior to that. They chose to call it official. So for you to suggest that I somehow dropped the ball. Well, I am still trying to get a grasp on that one.

Brad
