I heard an Idea recently...
If you do decide to track it by just the number of years they wrestle then maybe you could do it by USA Wrestling card number
1st year the card number starts with an N
exp:N11458...
2nd (and or 3rd) year kids with an I for say intermediate
exp: I11458...
And everyone else has an E for experienced
exp: E11458...
So that way track wrestling could track by card number and so could clubs wanting to police it that dont use track wrestling.
When they sign up they must send a list of USA Card numbers along with the entries.
Now if a club is purposely changing I's to N's then you can hold the club accountable.
I dont know how else to track and inforce
But I still dont think we should track novice by tenure.
