The Florida Man Games, inspired by the state's reputation for bizarre stories, took place in St. Augustine, featuring tank-topped teams competing in contests replicating real events from Florida, such as wrestling while holding pitchers of beer, running from sheriff's deputies while jumping fences, and switching bicycles while carrying catalytic converters and copper pipes. Organized by Pete Melfi, the event attracted several thousand spectators who paid to cheer on the teams, providing a fun and safe environment to experience a day in the life of a "Florida man" without legal consequences.
