How many of these kids go on to compete at a national level? I don't think but a very small percentage consistently participate in any national event. Bottom line, there would be less kids having the opprotunity to experience the State Tournament. It seems to me the way the tournament has gone the last few years, why change it. It has been a great tournament and run very well. If 6U can be added without losing the older kids, it would be great, but I don't think you are helping wrestling by taking 400 8u, 10u, 12u, 14u and 16u kids from the great state tournament to add 144 6u.
