Meet The Contestants

The first competitors for this year's Staring Contest have submitted their entry forms, and let me tell you, they are a fearsome looking group.

Feast your eyes on the most formidable class of eye-athletes since the earliest days of The Ontario Staring Contest League Association (OSCLA).

Which one of these fierce challengers will take home The Benaaron Cup?

Only time will tell.

With a handful of entry-forms still out there in the branch to be submitted, this group of ocular ruffians is sure to grow in the days leading up to first round. And, if the look of this bunch hasn't terrified you to your very soul, there's still time for you to enter if you haven't yet.

But don't wait too long. The last day to get your entry form in is Friday December 4th.

First Round match-ups will be posted Wednesday December 8th.

And first round matches begin Thursday December 10th. (Spectator tickets available at the door for each match for just $1)

CMB Staring Contest Competitors

	NAME: Donnette "The Woman Who Stares At Goats" Stoll BIO: Unknown
	NAME: Renée "Eagle Eye" Struik BIO: I only have eyes for you.
	NAME: Vinoth "Vinnie" Sabanadesan BIO: Trained at an early age in the art of "Staritsu," Vin was raised to believe that nothing mattered except the ancient art. A lone monk, Vin has traveled the world seeking to find as opponent that would finally challenge him. For then he could finally be at rest with his inner demons. There is no fear except for what can be stared at.
	NAME: Kristen "KT" Tedesco, aka KTed BIO: Kristen has been honing her staring skills for years. She developed her talent at a young age, as she discovered that staring at her brother was an amusing way to annoy him. At camp, Kristen won every fire-starting competition by staring into a pile of kindling until it burst into flames. As a young adult Kristen paid for her university tuition by taking part in illegal back alley staring contests where large sums of money would be wagered. Kristen hopes that her many years of staring will help her win the 2009 CMB Staring Contest – after that, its world domination. Oh ya, Kristen taught Chuck Norris how to stare.
	NAME: Bryan "Mini B" Adarna BIO: Unknown.
	NAME: Mary "Cookie" Vaz BIO: Unknown.
	NAME: Franco "The Nose" Naso BIO: Franco came into training camp a bit overweight, but has begun to stick with a new workout routine and has worked on his footwork. He's on a hot streak, posting a record of 5-0-3 in his last 8 matches. In the off-season, he has teamed up with Johnny "No Lids" Nazonkowski to work on a new strategy. It seems to be working for The Nose. HEIGHT: 5'6" WEIGHT: 200lbs COACH: Don Musso RECORD: 15-4-9
	NAME: Kevin "Eye of The Storm" Kelly BIO: Formerly a mild mannered gas pump attendant who was unfortunate enough to be working late when the owner of the station fulfilled a dastardly scheme to collect on his wife's insurance policy by blowing the place up while she was onsite doing paperwork. Understandably, Kelly was more than a little put out at being incinerated, so he's back from the dead and occupies himself by blowing stuff up with his eyeballs. This will be Kelly's first foray into the world of competitive staring, and the judges are expecting big things from the ruddy-faced rookie.
	NAME: Tannis "Crook Eye McVee" Fenton BIO: Crook Eye McVee is giving you the crook eye just for having to fill out this section of her entrant's from. Easily overwhelmed by paperwork, McVee would prefer to just get down to staring business.
	NAME: Carly "Action" Jackson BIO: Unknown
	NAME: Nadia "Old Meany" Abdelahad BIO: It ain't over 'til it's over.
