Dan's, Not In JEOPARDY! of infringing on licensed material, Trivia

Month: Innaugrual
Round: 1st
Leaderboard: n/a

Welcome to the Innaugrual round of my trivia that is in no way shape or form similar to another trivia game. It will be held once a month in three rounds. The rounds are as follow:

1st Round: 2 weeks, This round is used to build up your point bank in the innaugrual round. For the Innaugrual round there will be no deduction of points.

Doube Down: 2 weeks, The points are doubled and you risk the points you earn by sending in your questions.

Final Cut: Wager however many points you have in your bank (which will be kept track for you).

The scores will be updated on a regular basis and the top 5 players will be listed on the leaderboard section of the post for each round.

Categories are handpicked by me, and as are some of the answers. I will be asking certain people to donate their own answers as well. Each Round will consist of FIVE categories (Except the One Category in Final Cut), they will mainly deal with entertainment and pop-culture, but I assure you there will be other categories thrown into the mix as well.

This will be tournament style, and will last 2-3 months, which is two to three games. The winner is obviously the player that has accumulated the most points over the course of the tournament round. The Tournament winner, will not by any means get anything useful as a prize, unless you consider "Prestige" a prize.

If you win once you will gain the "Prestige", if you happen to win two in a row you will get "Golden Prestige" and a third will earn you "Platinum Prestige" and a ticket into my own hall of fame which I would have to construct. luckily, I have anywhere from 6 to 9 months to do that.

The first round will begin as soon as I am sent the first 2 sets of questions. All responses should be sent in to: DanWilson@Live.Ca

Under no circumstances should you feel the need to send in a response to every answer if you don't know it, but keep in mind that will only save you from losing points, it will also block you from gaining a point that a competitor may get.

HONOR! Please use your honor, pride, and dignity while responding to the answers. Do not use the internet, have fun, test yourself! Here are your categories!:
