This is one of the few things that bother me about gpc rules. This was one of a handful of "soft spots" that disqualified me from competition. 4-5 weeks later, the same spot has only encroached <.25" into solid fruit. No leaking,mushiness or degradation during weighoff. The only true issue of the fruit was rot that appeared after carving on October 9th. I enjoy my hobby and have the utmost respect for my hometown weighoff and its organizer, but rules need amended through the governing body.
