Depending on how drunk people are, bar fights don't always have a clear winner, so why not have a ref? He'd probably be loaded, too, but who cares? He sets rules and announces the winner after 3 rounds, then gets in a speedo and challenges any onlookers to a cartwheel championship.

Doesn't everyone like cartwheels?

Hmm... what happens if the referee has a few, and gets involved in a fight?

Oh, and those rules... maybe there should be a rule book... hey, there's an idea (oh, look, an idea in the Halfbakery!)

you would have to introduce fines for anyone smacking the ref (which inevitably somebody would)

great idea, but yeah some fines would have to imposed by the ruleing authority for miss use of the ref. otherwise have some prize fights and reduce the surface population.

Hehe. A roaming general referee. That's a postable idea, [ugly_joe].
