Jerry Nash handles these issues, I don't know if he has been advised
of the hotel rates yet.
I think the last few years (since France) FIDE has required that all
attendees, including parents, stay in the official hotels, that
payment for those rooms be made in advance, and that payment come from
the national federation, meaning those funds have to be channeled
through the USCF office.
Since the USCF winds up paying for the coaches for the World Youth
Champion****ps and the number of coaches is related to the total size
of the USCF delegation present, it is not in the USCF's interests to
send players who are not strong enough to properly represent the USCF
at the event.
