PREDICT THE EMMYS
RISK VS. REWARDS

The major category winners of this years Emmy Awards will be announced/broadcast on Sunday night, September 19, honoring the best performances in US Television
This contest will cover the top 13 main awards. All you have to do is predict the winner in each of the major categories.
Now, you may be saying, WHAT THE HECK DO I KNOW ABOUT ANY OF THIS?
Well, to make it easy, we made it a multiple choice test and you only have 3 choices. Plus, we will provide you with the current percentage chance of them winning

You will notice that this contest is also called Risk vs. Rewards.
The entries have been color coded to reflect three levels of Risk in each category and the amount you win if you predict the winner
A: BLUE = FAVORITE = 10 WRZ$
B: GREEN = THEY HAVE A CHANCE = 20 WRZ$
C: RED = JUST HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN NOMINATED = 30 WRZ$

If you pick "B: GREEN = THEY HAVE A CHANCE" or C: RED = JUST HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN NOMINATED" as your prediction for a category, you win if ANY of the people in that color win
So if you predict a favorite to win, you will win less WRZ$ than if you pick a long shot to win.
You will win WRZ$ for each of the 13 categories you predict correctly!

PLUS, who ever earns THE MOST WRZ$ in this contest will get a 250 WRZ$ Bonus
If multiple people are tied with the most WRZ$, each will earn a 100 WRZ$ Bonus
