I know little about competitive watermelon growing, but I have seen disclaimers about largest "traditional" watermelon which suggest that there is categories. If one grew a state record watermelon, would it be recognized regardless of the type of watermelon see?

Yes.
Grafting is where big weights are coming from lately.
Better disease resistance too.

It doesn't matter how they are grown, heaviest weight counts

Thank you. I am going to throw out some watermelon seeds next year by my pumpkin patch. Since I get water run-off, I might as well grow something else for the fair.

"I am going to throw out some watermelon seeds" I wish it was that easy. Kind of like Jack and the Beanstalk then ?
