Judging is subjective which could lead to hurt feelings. Could there just be a set length to width ratio in order to call something a pumpkin? Like... the diameter must exceed the length?

I meant circumference. This might be a good rule of thumb.

Some field kind are long, and others are short. Examples are the 205 Wursten as extremely wide, and the 188.5 Treece is really long.

That won't help as a marrow/fp cross can take on the shape of the marrow and the colour of an fp. I have seen very long, thin orange marrow/fp crosses at a weigh-off. Regular marrows are 150%-170% longer than they are wide (EE/SS). But I have grown one or two which were 210% longer than wide and I know of some that were 123%.
