When picking the toughest tournament you can save your breath on the state tournaments. They are not the toughest tournaments in the state. Not in a state that has events the likes of the Bob Cat Classic and Newton. Even the Derby tournament at one point in time was more competitive than any of the state meets.

My own preferance of tough tournaments would be the Bob Cat Classic. There you have state champions from all classifications, and even from one of the top teams in Iowa all scrambling just to place.

Beloit, Salina South, and Hays are all good tournaments, but are to small to go toe to toe with even the state tournaments. Believe me they do not compare with the Bob Cat Classic or Newton.
