Well, first off, my son was a novice wrestler last two years. I do not care if he gets first, second, third, fourth, or fifth for that matter. As long as he does his best. But you can tell the experienced kids against the novice ones. So, yes, a wrestler who "beats" up on the other novice kids, does not belong in novice tournaments. I would never even thought to put him in the state tournament the last two years.
