I agree with John to some degree, I don't think the bickering accomplishes much either; but I think the novice tournaments surfice the very beginner, and those boys and girls that are a little more timid with this sport. I think the open tournament format for the 6&unders is ok. I think that decision should be made by parents and coaching staff. As for Qualifying for the 6&under state tournament, I think this could be a good thing. It would be up to communities and clubs to sponser these district wrestle offs sending the top four or six to Ottawa. I do think that the young kids that win that 64 man bracket have one heck of a bracket to frame, and an accomplishment that they could never see again. I saw the young Beeson boy repeat that accomplishment three years in a row, he had to have faced a hundred or more matches without a loss "WOW" Those brackets must be a thing of beauty and pride for a lifetime. Even without a district wrestle off, It works in Ottawa, and if there should be a district wrestle off, the finals would still work in Ottawa!
