You can also go here; http://tomato.giantstogrow.com/

This is also a really good site for tomato weights by state and province.

According to the second link, SoCalGrower set a new California Record with the 4.46 Dunn? Can it be true? Grown in a POT????

Andrew,

Go here; http://www.greatpumpkincommonwealth.com/PDF/tomato_weighoff_guidelines.pdf

This will tell you what you need to know. It's dated 2013 but the rules are the same.

From the tomato website, http://tomato.giantstogrow.com/
it shows I have the Oregon record 3.56 lbs. This year I put a lot of effort into my 8 plants, good seed, ferts, cutting off the tops of the plants, consistant watering, everything I learned from you guys. I have one growing on each plant, some for 45 days, green, bigger than usual for me. On the biggest, 4.27 Menting, at 22" I moved the sling to take a photo, and snap! Mistake. The worst sound. Half the stem broke, still attached. I have a double on on the 4.63 Menting measuring in the low 20's" and green. On the 3.51 Weston I have an aggressive 4 bloom that is about 30 days around 20" that may end up being my biggest at this rate. I plan to use the "virtual tomato weigh off" and may enter my first within a week or so with a photo of it detached in the proper manner! I hope to go over 4 lbs, thats my goal. Exciting times to grow large fruit with all the effort! Good luck to everyone.
