clock,the CCC's #2 player, NM Frankie "Blitz" Newton

sudden-death pure R vs R ending saw both players "drop their
gloves," cooler heads prevailed.(In
such situations, a player need only to "stop the clocks" and claim
the Draw) In theCruiserweight Division, mild
mannered Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1809) found an available phone
booth, and asserted his "superman" powers against Michael "the Lip" Lipkin
