There will always be those parents and in particular daddy's that will put their kid in the novice so they can trophy hunt. These kids can do just as well in open taking 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. The problem is daddy's ego can not handle them not taking 1st. Unfortunately these are the same daddy's that will push their kids to the brink of tears every match, berate and belittle them in front of others when they are forced into the Open tournaments and don't do as well. What did they expect? They babied them for years and made it easy. When the going gets tough they are not prepared and will end up playing basketball. Do your children a favor dad's. Teach them to wrestle, teach them to win and lose with dignity, and teach them to work hard for what they want. There are a hundreds of screen names that do not show up anymore and the kids no longer wrestle. All because daddy and mommy made it too easy.
