Limiting (or at least appearing to limit) these touraments to people who have only been playing Ultimate for a short time may alienate players who have been playing Ultimate during 'junior' years.
Renaming these tournaments as 'freshers' or similar, may encourage players who have adopted the game earlier (perhaps from Smudge's St. Vincent Academy - wahey!). This might also increase the team standard of such tournaments, causing true beginners to see what levels can be achieved in the sport, while still allowing room for these people to play in what are generally fun events.
I suppose renaming to 'freshers' may then discourage non-uni junior teams, but most such teams will read BD and as long as the TD's (subject to TD's own agreement) announce that non-uni teams which meet an age criteria can enter, renaming to 'freshers' shouldn't have too much of a negative effect.
