Every Worldcon is an independent entity, with no financial or legal ties to its predecessors or successors (sort of like Olympic Host Committees); however, since 1989, most Worldcons have participated in a voluntary arrangement whereby they agree to divide at least half of any surplus funds they may have among the next three Worldcons that also agree to participate in the program.
