Just my $.02. If I am understanding this correctly, you made a mistake and advertised the Jr. division as under 14 instead of what you meant to be 14 and under. A fourteen year old won and was awarded the Jr. prize of $100, but his mom wants the $700 for the adult division.
Like I said, if I'm not misunderstanding any of the details, I gotta side with the kid on this. It sounds like the organizers made a mistake and don't want to pay the boy. It sounds like the greed is actually not from the kid's mom, but from the event organizers. I don't think it matters what your intentions were as far as the age groups, but what you were actually advertising.
Good luck resolving the issue. It sounds like a fun event.
