My submission to the liar's club is the possibility of uneven watering?

Also, some types are more prone to splitting than others, should still taste good even if it doesn't win any beauty comps.

Sorry - but do you really mean ounces? - 309 ounces = 19.3126 pounds - do you actually mean grams?

Many of the beefsteak types have this tendency to split and go corky. Splitting is usually down to uneven watering but I suspect it's just the variety. Cut the brown bits out. There's still plenty left to go round!
