I just think there needs to be some clear cut rules, I understand it has been discussed and hard to draw that fine line but at the same time it shouldn't be that difficult.
Novice is any 1st or 2nd year wrestler who has not placed top 2 in any open tournament with 6 or more wrestlers in the bracket. Placing top 2 at Novice State makes you an open wrestler. If you violate the rule it's a 1 year suspension. Your exception could be a kid that has never placed top 3 in a Novice tournament with 5 or more wrestlers in the bracket can go beyond 2 years.
