Question
whens the next tournament and what do I need to get in?

Answer
Depends on whether or not you are a novice or an open boxer (you have to have at least 5 scored bouts in your passbook to advance to the national championships).  If you are an open boxer, you will have to win your franchise tournament.  The national Golden Gloves are in May.
