How much would it actually cost to run a small comp?

[Gadiboyo]

Out of pure curiosity and wanting to eventually like, have that ability once or twice

It's very difficult to answer this question because it varies so much depending on where you live, if you have a local delegate team then they can provide most of the resources, otherwise you'd need your own timers and mats

It's largely dependent on the price of the venue.
Heres the cost of Bayou Big Cubes 2024, It had 45 competitiors with a registration of $20 resulting in $840 of revenue (me and the 2 delegates got in for free.)

$766.08 Total
$500.00 Venue
$36.96 Stripe Fees
$33.86 Printing
$35.00 Staff lunch
$39.72 Batteries
$120.54 WCA Dues

So the WCA gets money from people organizing comps in the form of dues and fees n stuff(the $120.54) and you(and the others organizing the comp) get to keep the money from the registration?

Extra money goes to regional organizations to help finance other comps, equipment, etc. I don't think you can profit off of competitions with the exception of vending.
