It doesn't matter when they have the cutoffs someone will always be the youngest in the bracket. If they moved it to January then wrestlers that have a birthday the next November would be in the same boat so why does it matter. Our son started young, and had a birthday in Sept. he could have stayed at 6 and under for 4 years but in his 4th year he and his father felt he needed to move up because he wasn't having to work very hard. He wasn't always winning but needed more action. There are alot of people who do this.
