Phil,
Of course the organisers are not going to allow ChessScotland to send two U14's for example instead of an U14 and an U8. However, if for example ChessScotland chose to send 2 U14's and an U8, then they will be charged 2 lots of several hundred pounds for the free places and one lot of several thousand pound for the additional place. Surely, it is then up to the Junior Director/team to decide how this money is recouped from the parents?
You could charge all the players the same, or the additional player(s) could be charged a lot more. There are arguments in favour and against both systems. The English players will be charged almost double their Scottish counterparts because mandatory coaching is part of the package. Again, I don't think that is right or wrong it is just another way of doing things that there are arguments for and against.
