True. In the dictionary it says effect=result and affect=influence.1. "The reduction in the prize money won't have any effect on you." In this case for example the reduction in the prize money caused a change in the result.(reduced prize money for 2nd and 3rd place getters). You obtained 1st place in the event. The 1st prize winner still gets the same prize money as last year. 2.
