Under 18 All Valley Tournament

In the first movie, the tournament is for under 18. How could Daniel, who's supposed to be in college or Mike Barnes, a hired karate expert, allowed to fight?
In the first movie, Daniel has a birthday right before the tournament, which he should turn 18 since he's a senior. If that is the case, the tournament could be 18 and under. If he is really young for a senior, he could have just turned 17. Then the under 18 could still apply (not 18 and under).
Either way, the following tournament against Mike Barnes, he should be either 18 or 19. Since Mike Barnes is a hired fighter, I would assume that he also is not in high school (also he lives with Terry Silver) and probably wouldn't be eligible either.
I would think that Daniel turned 18 in the first movie based on being a senior and the time of year. This would make the tournament really 18 and under. This would also make him ineligible for the next year.

That bothered me too the last time I watched the series. There's no way if the tournament is truly "under 18".
Maybe he got to compete one last time because he was still under 18 during the sign up process? I'm going with that loophole

Since Daniel lied about even being a black belt in KK1 and his thief of a sensei even stole one from a man at the registration desk, its probably safe to assume that Daniel once again cheated by doctoring his birth certificate making him 17 once again.

I believe Daniel San beating up on little kiddies was the inspiration for this classic Seinfeld scene:-

The trolls seem to thrive on the Karate Kid boards. I guess it's not that different from IMDB after all...

Agreed. The only thing I could ever really give The Karate Kid credit for in terms of realism was the physicality of the fights. When one of the kids took a kick or a punch, you could tell it hurt, and see actual damage.
