We will be using the Haysville theory of Novice. I think it is the best definition of novice so far that includes all wrestlers that deserve to go to a tournament and could get experience and have some success with it.

Guidelines for entries: Wrestlers who have NOT yet earned 10 medals in their wrestling career with at least six in the bracket (self included) to count, and have NOT placed first or second in an open tournament with at least six in the bracket (self included), No matter how many years of wrestling. If you have earned 10 medals in your first year you are NOT eligible for this event!
