The answer to this problem is not nearly as complicated as some would make it out to be.

Simply, act responsibly. As coaches, we all know who should be wrestling in novice tournaments and who should not. We all also know the purpose of these tournaments.

At The Wichita Wrestling Club Novice Tournament, as Tournament Director, I made it very clear, to numerous individuals, that I expected the Honor System to be followed, and if I felt anyone was taking advantage of the "system" they would not be allowed to compete.

This is for the kids, and the future of the sport lies with these youngsters.
