I had a discussion over the weekend about novice tournaments. The question was would kids still show up to tournaments if clubs decided not to hand out medals at these tournaments and drop the entry fees down to say 5.00 per kid. Its more about the mat time then it is for the medals right. This would also get those kids that probably shouldn't be wrestling novice to enter in the open tournaments as well. I just remember when I was a kid I didn't have the choice. It was all open and we still only paid 5.00 per kid. medals were small and pretty cheap but I didn't care. All I wanted to was wrestle. So what are everyones thoughts on this.
