Yes....it is ran as a combined tourney with the Elementary Dual Qualifier and proceeds go to support the dual teams. I think you are loosing track of what should be at the heart of our mission....wrestling skill development. Lessons can be learned from the structure of both 8U and 14U breakouts. In the 8U division the subset of 6U are first and second year wrestlers. Some develop faster than others but mostly first and second year wrestlers are novice wrestlers who do not need to be in a championship series of tournaments...they will have 7-8 years prior to High School to experience the Championship Series; retention demands we focus on skill development, fun and fundamentals when coaching the 6U subset. Our 8th grade athletes benefit from wrestling Freshman the March before they enter High School and they are in no way harmed. It gets them ready for the future. Our Freshman in the 14U also benefit from coming off an often grinding HS season and wrestle club athletes closer to their own age and skill development than the athletes the wrestled in the HS season. A chance to regroup and hone their budding skills. It's not about how much money each age group generates or how those funds are allocated. It's not about fairness for any single athlete. It's about the age appropriate opportunities we offer ALL our age divisions to improve their skills.
