They advertise it as a "National" tournament.

And I did address the issue of not leaving it up to the refs for a judgment call...we do teach that to our kids, but tough kids are gonna battle and that's all we can ask of them. It would just be nice to have officials that know what a Granby is...for him to try to award 2 nearfall to the other kid shows his lack of "judgment" in this situation.
