...just because, on principle, I don't think they should let 15-year-olds participate in these adult tournaments. Let them participate in the juniors tournaments until they reach 18; that's what the junior tournaments are for. You have to be at least 18 to drive, sign contracts, sign leases, join the military ... you should have to be at least 18 to play in these adult tournaments, too. IMHO.
