From the 2009 CYCC website:

"Prizes: Winners of each combined section and each section with 8 or more players receive $1000 toward expenses for their trip to Turkey to participate in the World Youth Chess Championship 2009. The WYCC are providing free board (meals and lodging) for winners of the 12 categories. More funding toward expenses will be provided to the winners if finances permit."

Is not clear what players will receive for the sections with less then 8 players. My guess is "No funding" otherwise it will be mentioned on the site.

Also what it will be the case of the section with more then 8 players? Will the extra funding go to help the 2nd place or more funding toward 1st place in the same section or towards the first place of the "less then 8 players" sections.

The Turkish federation is the one providing free board (meals and lodging) fro the first place.
