Overall, "National Tournaments" need to be held in some type of check to balance other extremely highly competitive tournament.

To clarify, <300 wrestlers =National Tournament? Not to bash a state here or there but there is CornCob Nationals, Gopher Nationals, Badgerland Nationals and many others.....what's the sense?

What is the criterion for establishing a "NATIONAL TOURNAMENT"? Is it "just the name?"

And yes, Scott--I can remember when entry fees were $8.00 etc. your kid generally had > 8 man bracket, no such thing as NOVICE entries, & not everyone got a medal for "showing up".

Just my $.02.
