Prizes

Each Kambrian who voted for the winning Grand Finale team will be entered into a random prize draw.

5 lucky Kambrians will be chosen to win the following prizes:

First Prize Winner: 40% of KAT in Prize Pool + $500 worth of KAT

Second Prize Winner: 30% of KAT in Prize Pool + $200 worth of KAT

3 x Third Prize Winners: 3 x (10% of KAT in Prize Pool + $100 worth of KAT)
