But with all the frenzied interest in trying to Duel this month, the masses asked...why not a summer Duel? July features the Singles Tournament, and August has both the CL Training match as well as the Doubleheader. June has always been dormant in our league, but if Dueling is what the people want, Dueling is what the people get!
So here we are, the first official Twin Sun Slam! And since the word "Twin" is in the title, we figured we might as well play two! We're going to tailgate at Rob's house beforehand and grill some burgers. The Yoda Soda will flow. Summer Dueling, had me a blast...Summer Dueling, happened so fast...
MEET THE DUELERS:
Alex - the amateur Dueler finally turns professional this Saturday! And with a more than respectable average, the only question will be how high in the rankings he debuts.
Ben - nobody has had a more scorching 2018 in terms of average finish, but Ben would turn in all of those top five finishes for his first career victory. He has two shots this weekend to pull it off.
Chris - well look at what the cat dragged in! The cagey old veteran didn't play much this past year, but as Chris likes to say, "Sun's out, guns out!" And by guns he means blaster rifles.
Courtney - she made her debut at the Let the Wookie Win Duel last month, and placed admirably in seventh. That's not too shabby for a first Duel! However, her husband did pass on his Han Solo curse with her character pick.
Grant - Grant moved into sole possession of second place on the career victory list at Let the Wookie Win. His first place victory with Count Dooku gives him six total wins and now he sits squarely in second place in the Dueler rankings.
Heidi - nearly two years ago Heidi played in the 2016 Doubleheaders...and hasn't been seen since! But her long absence is no more! Perhaps she only wants to play when there are two games a night? That's hardcore, and I admire it!
Jonathan - the retired Dueler is coming to the table one more time to finally secure that first career victory. Or he's using these two Duels as a warm-up for his Singles Tournament title defense. Either way, nobody counts cards better than Jonathan.
Kaleb - the retired Hall of Famer is squeezing two more games onto his resume! He's looking to recover from a career-worst ninth place finish at Let the Wookie Win. Still, how sick is it that his worst finish is only ninth?!?
Kat - the word on the street is that Kat stayed on campus this summer solely to train and prepare for the coming Dueling season. You can't teach heart, Duelers! She's looking to recover from her last place finish at May the 4th Be With You.
Rob - the number one ranked Dueler nearly accomplished the impossible at Let the Wookie Win - win two Duels in a row with the same character! He nearly made it, finishing second place with Mace Windu after his first place at May the 4th.
Sam - and here's another blast from the past! Retired amateur Sam had a short but furious run of Duels in our league and he's been chomping at the bit to get back into the game. Here's his chance!
Stephen - it looked like his swan song was going to be his tenth place finish at the May the 4th Duel, but this Hall of Famer ain't going out like that! Stephen's history of success at doubleheaders shouldn't be ignored either.
There you have it folks - the Twin Sun Slam is locked and loaded! No Pez Vader prediction this time around, but fear not - we have a new prognosticator for next season. You won't be disappointed! Feel free to stop by Saturday if you're around!
