Wouldn't Jan 1 at least be more suitable? since the biggest part of the season starts after the new year? I know they can't be 8 and wrestle 6U. but they can be 6 months off of 8 by the time state rolls around. In my opinion the Missouri age groups make more sense. I just don't see the reasoning behind this. Even September 1 is 2-3 months before most tournaments. Does anyone else see the crazyness in this? Or is it just accepted? Is this just a KS thing or is it pretty universal around the country?
