Nobody is forcing any club or parent to participate in this or any tournament. Our club and individual members do not attend some tournaments during the season. Some of those tournaments would be ones that other clubs/parents would consider sacrilege to miss. As I have said before, never rely on the state rules to do what is best for your club or club members! If you feel your club or it's members are better served by not attending a qualifer then by all means, don't. That would include wrestlers of any age as far as I'm concerned, not just the 6U crowd.
