No this is the way it is set up 8&under that means from 1 to 8 with a 37lbs & 40 lbs class that are mostly 6& under so still my question is ( WHATS THE DIFF? ) They are still included just not how you want them to be. the two 6&under states are just another novice tourny for them. Sorry if that makes you mad but its just like HS freshman are to seniors.
