• To be classified as a pumpkin, specimens must be 75% yellow/orange in color; all others will be classified as squash.
• The vine must be trimmed to one inch from the stem. No foreign material is permitted in the weighing.

• All specimens will be weighed without the use of tarps or other carrying devices.
• Pumpkins will be classified by division based on where the specimen is grown, not the residence of the grower.

• Decisions of the judges are final in all cases.
• The five heaviest pumpkins will remain in Half Moon Bay to be part of a special display at the annual Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival
