competition for minors?

I'm 16 and I'm wondering if amateur muay thai competitions are allowed for minors in the state of California.

I did asked one of the guys at my gym, and he said no. But at the same time, I saw a kid and a couple other guys come in after our practice and they were using the gym for themselves. The kid was 1 or 2 years younger than me and the other guys who were with him said he already had like 2-3 fights.

I don't know about muay thai for sure, but I know minors can do MMA fights through the amateur league CAMO.
