Thin tournaments for the 96 age groups-looks like Plano has the best competition.

Why would a team enter the Wiseman Tournament when all of the age groups in the Plano tournament have 4x the number of teams?

Well, you don't really know thats the case when you are registering....they tell you that AFTER you have committed. Maybe they should have a "withdraw" clause when the team list is as poor as it is in Wiseman.

I guess I am wondering why a team would enter that tournament regardless, everyone knows that the Plano tournament ALWAYS has the most teams and the best competition.

It has been this way for years. If you are unsure, but concerned about good comp., you should ask around before registering. Now you'll know for next year.
