It greatly depends on region. We're fine to do them here in Australia, aside from specific novice contests designed to ease new people in.

Otherwise your given community tournament allows it.

It makes sense. Why teach kids arm-bars and chokes?

Tachi-waza is soo much more difficult and critical to learn at an early age.

Holding of on advanced newaza makes for better judokas in the end.
