You folks opposed to 6U state are conveniently overlooking some facts. Those are as usual
1. There is already a (soon to be two), 6U state! Do you refuse to send your kids to those tournaments?
2. 6U can already attend THE state tournament in the 8U division. Realistically the only ones who have much of a chance of doing so are the smaller/ligher weights. Would you then support a ban of anyone under the age of 7 competing at THE state tournament in order to be fair to all 6 year olds?
3. The pressure at Ottawa and I would guess the new tournament is every bit as much if not more than would be displayed at THE state tournament if 6U were there. Do 6U need to be exposed to 64 man brackets in a one day tournament?

If you are truely against a 6U division at THE state tournament then be true to those feelings and support an outright ban on the participation of 6 year olds at any tournament.
