not only does this happen in novice tournaments, it happens in regular tournaments as well. in our tournament last year we had a father raising cain because his kid was in the a&b bracket and not c&d bracket after so much hell being raised they changed the brackets.

if memory serves me correct no kid in the c&d bracket lasted more than a minute with this kid but guess what? the kid ended up with a bright and shiny first place trophy. hope he keeps that trophy nice and polished.
