Working upside down:

1. Schuyler.
2. 2 pauls = draw
3. Coolidge would pull a shiv.
4. Ammons. I don't think JA would bother to fight.
5. Tony. (sorry Noah.)
6. Sydney. Duh.
7. Donne and HD would end up making out.
8. Loy (futurist vs. priest?).
9. Stein, also she would turn into a pulp all the rest & after eat a roasted duck.
