There is no perfect chart but we all need to be using the same chart multiple charts is not going help things. Just cause confusion .it would literally be impossible to make a chart that was perfect for everyone

While I agree, no chart will ever be ‘perfect’ due to the inherent variations in the data; the Team-Pumpkin Chart remains the most reliable. There have been long discussions about the merits of the Team-Pumpkin chart vs the Holub chart but I suggest you look and compare for yourself. The Team-Pumpkin Charts are good for all pumpkins from 2006 to 2015. For example, our chart estimated the current world record to be 2301 pounds not 2035 as suggest by the Holub chart. The results speak for themselves. You can find an explanation of how and why ours were done the way they are along with the charts here on BP.

We do all use the same chart at the weighoffs. The GPC chart. Other charts are useful, but this is the one to use for documentation purposes at the weighoffs.
