What Does the Registration Money Get Spent On?
The UKCA1 is not-for-profit and run by volunteers. All registration2 monies paid for competitions go towards the different costs of organising events including: venue hire; equipment; printing; payments to the WCA3 for the use of their website and registration software; and website upkeep.

2 There are two places in which you might need to register. The first on-line for a competition on the WCA website. The second is in-person at a competition to let the volunteer team know that you have arrived and so that you can receive your competitor card4. This second place is now normally called check-in to reduce confusion.
3 The governing body for Speedcubing.
4 A piece of paper you are given when you arrive at the competition and register. It contains your ID number and tells you which groups you are in for competing, scrambling, and judging.
