Yes, as of last year in the US. Other countries or international adult events may have other age limits.
It would affect what adult level you're allowed to compete at.

I think you mentioned in the Lutz Corner that you were planning to test Intermediate freestyle test? If you have passed that test, you would need to compete at the Masters Novice level as an adult. If the highest standard test you had passed was Juvenile, then you would compete at the Adult Gold level.
Some more information:

Thank you! very helpful. I am finding this out for my brother, not myself. He passed the Pre-Juvilline tests a while ago and is turning 20 this spring... He wanted to compete in pairs with his girlfriend who passed the juvinllie test four years ago.
