I happened across the new GPC chart on the GPC Info page (on bigpumpkins). It seems that at the higher OTTs (e.g. 2000+ lbs) it estimates quite a bit higher, presumably to represent that many large pumpkins go heavy. I think it'll be great to have a better estimated sense of weight, although not quite as many heavy % surprises... Thanks to whoever put in the effort to make a better chart.

Good job by Scott Holub on the updated numbers. The power of selective breeding! In a way, the last 20 years really flew by - here's what the 2005 revision to the numbers looked like:

I think one of the crazy parts of the 2005 chart is that it ended at 420". 420" is almost small at this point.
