The World Cube Association has had over 200,000 unique competitors across 158 different regions and we are not planning on slowing down anytime soon The cubing community has been growing steadily since our founding in 2004 and we want to encourage this to continue into the future by increasing the accessibility of competitions to new areas. In the future, we hope to support our community even more through collaborations and outreach to those who care about puzzles. Every two years, we sanction the competition that ultimately determines the world champion. These events require extremely careful planning by a number of volunteers, as well as a large financial commitment to reserve the venue and make necessary preparations. 140764 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false true true true true false false true true true true false true false false false CA X WORLD CUBE ASSOCIATION 8773631739 5042 WILSHIRE BLVD 43206 LOS ANGELES CA 90036 X ETHAN PRIDE CHAIR/EXE DIR 020.00 X X 0 0 0 BLAKE THOMPSON SECRETARY 020.00 X X 0 0 0 SOMYA SRIVASTAVA VICE CHAIR 020.00 X X 0 0 0 KERRIE JARMAN VICE CHAIR 020.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL CHAI VICE CHAIR 020.00 X X 0 0 0 RAYMOND GOSLOW TREASURER 010.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 29836 28592 29836 SPONSORSHIP INCOME 150000 COMPETITION DUES 453241 MERCHANDISE SALES 2680 605921 5157 57871 57763 108 108 CURRENCY GAINS 98 98 641120 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5992 5992 15172 15172 0 0 0 0 0 65950 24884 41066 0 0 13834 1945 11889 0 0 0 0 0 1250 1250 COMPETITION EQUIPMENT 18097 18097 COMPETITION SUPPORT 95358 95358 BANK CHARGES AND OTHER FEES 16464 16464 OTHER EXPENSES 3478 480 2998 0 235595 140764 94831 0 15226 46035 70357 277860 6656 9715 121431 46462 87393 3800 5592 142501 548026 0 0 X 142501 548026 142501 548026 142501 548026 405525 X true X false true false X 670 439 1855 39543 29836 72343 42779 16171 12003 312775 606029 989757 43449 16610 13858 352318 635865 1062100 38840 28592 67432 225000 139317 364317 263840 167909 431749 630351 30 20 11 206 5157 5424 0 30 20 11 206 5157 5424 0 5 130 99 409 98 741 43484 16760 13968 352933 641120 1068265 0.59010 0.00510 X Part III Section A Line 1 THE ORGANIZATION HAS RECLASSIFIED COMPETITION DUES AS GROSS RECEIPTS LINE 2 RETROACTIVELY IN 2022 IN THE AMOUNT OF 42,826.
