​​Here's a recap:

 

This year’s Prize Fund did increase, while continuing to support our charity, Kaleidoscope Youth Center. 

• COMIC25 paid 1:6 in standard tournament events (singles, doubles, team, individual all events), with low to cash starting at $35/person in each standard category

• We were able to add just a little to the top three in Team All Events (not part nor guaranteed as a standard tournament award)

• This brought the total event entry prize fund to $22,000 (actually $22,036 due to a 4- way tie for 32 in singles).

• Also paying 1:6 were optional events, each with 5 divisions – Option Scratch ($2,140), Optional Senior Handicap ($1380).

• Scratch Masters paid the top 6 if > 12 entries, top 4 if <12 entries ($3580)

 

This means checks totaling over $29,100 are in the mail!  And that’s not counting the winnings distributed from all the raffles! 

• 82 bowlers (41%) won money in standard events

• Another 14 won money in option events, so 43% of bowlers have a check coming

• FYI – $145 in uncollected winnings from Team Brackets were also mailed with the checks

 

COMIC is committed to providing you a great event every year:

 

Did you know… $57 of your $130 entry is designated for the prize fund (200 bowlers, $11,400)

This means COMIC’s year-long efforts raised another $10,600 to reach that $22,000 total and once the bill-dust settles, we will be giving KYC another big donation!

 

This is only possible due to the support of:

• Our sponsors, especially our biggest sponsor, AWOL Bar

• Our bowling house, HP Lanes, that support our efforts year round

• The committee and volunteers, many who do not bowl or didn’t bowl that weekend

• The Columbus LGBTQ+ bowling leagues and bowlers who supported fundraisers like Mystery Score, Jester, Euchre and Cornhole tournaments, and other efforts all year.

• And YOU, the bowlers throughout the weekend with COMIC Cups, Bowling Ball Raffles, the committee-donated Baskets Raffle, Mega and regular Brackets, and those who turned out for Saturday night’s Committee Show,  

 

We are so glad you joined us this year. COMIC is an LGBTQ+ family and community event. We appreciate your support and look forward to you joining us again for COMIC 2026 (April 24-26, 2026).
