What would you say constitutes a "Novice" wrestler? Is it years in the sport? (If so, how many before no longer a novice?) Is it skill level of the wrestler? (how many 1st places, or wins vs. loss?) There are lots of wrestlers going into their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year who are pretty good, record wise, (maybe not a lot of competition at their age/weight) but still have only a couple moves in their arsenal and aren't very advanced. What's your take on it?

Who decides if a wrestler should be allowed in a novice tournament?
