I do not have the exact weights Hans-Werner, but they went something like this:

Martin Reiss 457 kg or 1008 lbs
Bjorn Meyer 429 kg or 946 lbs
Owen Olsen 305.5 kg or 673.3 lbs (New PB)

My Dueck went light, the 305.5 came from my 628 olsen 03 and went 90 lbs heavy.

Owen, ich gratuliere zu Deiner PB. Da hat das Flies geholfen. > 670 Ibs wäre auch mein Ziel für das kommende Jahr. Vielleicht können wir uns dann in LB messen.

Congrats to all! Good to read a neighbor (B. Meyer) grew almost 1000 lbs. Now we know, also in Northern Germany we are able to grow the big ones.
Wait til next year.

Congratulations guys! Fantastic results ... Martin over 1000 lbs again and Owen the getting third with the 628 and new PB. Great! Looking forward to meeting you next week. Watch out, I`ve heard rumors about a member of the Knopp Giant Pumpkin Growers Association who will enter a big one ...

Congrats Martin! Do you have any explanation why this 801 selfed is not showing the typical Stelts torpedo shape at all? Just wondering.

The 801.5 can produce both types of shapes. Do you have AGGC access? If you had access you could see that the 1010 La Rue 00, the 989.5 Stelts 02, the 963 Stucker 02, the 947.2 Patrick, the 867 Mombert 00 and others have the exact same shape as my 1008.4.
From looking over all 801.5 offsprings I'd say half are the shape of my 1008.4 and the other half is the shape of my 495 from last year.

Where can I find the top 10 ranking?

Heino, I have been waiting for Jucker to post the official results on their website, but they have not yet. I do remember that the 4th place was my 1056 Dueck at 305.3 kg (yup, only 200 grams between my 2), and the 5th place was 288 kg. But nothing past that.
