why not just understand that there is not a pressing NEED for 5 & 6 yo kids to have a State Tournament. In 90 % of the cases it is a WANT on the part of parents.

At that age especially, and for a year at least when they are older if they don't start til 10 or 12 they should just be learning the basics, having fun and hopefully competing on a level playing field (novice or against other 5& 6 yo) and getting familiar with the sport and not pushed to be the champ and win all the time right away.

Not healthy for these youth and they will get a sour taste in their mouth from all the pressure on them and will more than likely burn out or not want to continue.

ENOUGH already, these are 5 & 6 year olds ...EASE UP !!
