What is wrong with a 4 man round robin at least the kids get 3 matches vs 2 for some.Id rather see all the A n B together then C n Ds . I know this is not possible in all tourny but if possible why not. What does an A kid learn from pinning a kid in 10 seconds what does the other kid learn from getting pinned in 10 seconds. The best way a kid can improve is with mat time by wrestling someone near his or own level so he can try the moves his coaches have taught him in practice
.Not all D wrestlers are novice if you say less than 2 years to be a novice.
Some kids really enjoy wrestling but just do not progress as fast as others. so
