Were these novice tournaments or open tournaments?

Either way you should take him. It is a great atmosphere that is directed solely at the young ones. But expect big brackets. Last year I think there were 51 kids in my sons 46 lb. bracket. We wrestled 8 times that day. At the end they line them up outside the gym, turn off the lights and blair the music as the kids enter the gymnasium. They walk across the mat when they are introduced and shake the kid of who they are going to wrestle for 1st-6th place. If that don't get the kids and parents pumped up, I don't know what will. We will be there on the 21st.
