That's because most registrations don't have accom. In fact, probably
most aren't even around most of the time.
It's usually 20-40 people who pay for their registration, fairly
constant per year. A fair fraction of them just register late and
would probably have sponsored otherwise.
The exact number of sponsored varies per year, but the goal has
generally been that everyone who doesn't appear a "tourist" who
registers on time gets sponsored.
