I thought the tournament was ran very well. It was a long day of course but what 1 day tournament wouldnt be with 1800+ kids.

I do have one question regarding the Novice Division. Do you have a requirement/definition for a Novice Wrestler? Do you screen these Novice entries?

I noticed a kid that wrestled at 8U Novice 43/46 lbs that won and pinned every kid he wrestled was a 5th year wrestler that had 62 previous tournaments under his belt. I feel like the real Novice kids got worked over for their entry fee by letting this kid wrestle in the Novice Division. I would have been pissed if my 1st or 2nd year kid made it to the finals and had to wrestle this kid.

I really think its bad on his coach/director/parent for allowing him to wrestle in the Novice Division knowing dang well he is so far from Novice its not even funny.

Thoughts?
