A well-dressed Jay Stubina flexes for the camera--clearly an intimidation tactic.
Steve Ives (left) and Anthony Novac pose with referee Keith Furlong, moments after trying to rip each other apart limb by limb. (In observance of the Olympic tradition, they fought in the nude.)
Volunteers sort wagers and tally contributions to GamCare.
