Once the halls are open and training is over, our league of Duelers have an itch they need to scratch! And that relief comes in the form of food, fellowship, and two cracks at victory!
And let's not forget...this is our FIFTH season of doing this! Our FIFTH Doubleheader in August! Our FIFTH time gulping YODA SODA hand over fist! How did this little corner of the Star Wars universe thrive for FIVE years???
The answer, of course, is you...THE DUELERS! So thank you each and all, whether this is your first Duel or your fifth year playing. There are no 12-Way Duels without the yahoos who commit to the insanity. This Thermal Detonator is for you!
*BOOM!*

MEET THE DUELERS:
Alex C - Alex played in the Twin Sun Slam Doubleheaders this past summer and walked away with his first career victory, so you know now he loves to play twice in one night.
Ben H. - Ben is the highest ranked professional Dueler without a career victory, a fact that gnaws at his subconscious. He might seek revenge on Rob after a brutal 11th place finish at CL Training.
Ben P. - Rookie Dueler alert! Ben P. got a taste of the Dueling glory at the side-table during CL Training and is ready to swim with the sharks. These will be his first two career Duels.
Chris K. - Chris has only played twice in 2018 - both matches at the Twin Sun Slam - but fared quite well with both Fetts, finishing 5th with Boba and 2nd with Jango!
Chris W. - Chris had a wonderful rookie Duel at the CL Training match, finishing in fifth place with Jango Fett in his debut performance. What will his follow-up look like?
Grant - Grant is on a strong run in 2018. Over seven Duels he hasn't finished below seventh place and he's picked up two wins to boot. He's now the top ranked Dueler!
JD - It seemed the Dueling universe was stacked against JD as he suffered a months-long drought of success. But the rains of victory poured at CL Training, where he claimed victory with the Emperor.
Joel - You could argue Joel is exploring Daddy issues this year, as his last three Duels were with Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. But those Duels include a victory and a third place finish.
Kayla - Rookie Dueler alert part two! Kayla is a former padawan from Rob's leadership class. She's eager to prove her mettle in the world of Duels and has two shots to stake her claim.
Luke R. - Not the Skywalker, the Dueler! Luke enters the Doubleheader with four career matches...which means he goes professional after the second game. Congrats Luke!!!
Rob - The Godfather of the Duels league is coming off the most putrid three-game stretch in league history. His two last places at the Twin Suns and tenth place at CL Training knocked him to fourth in the rankings.
Ryan - After winning the Valentine's Duel back in February, Ryan only played twice since then, both disappointing ninth place finishes. He's hoping to knock off the rust again at the Doubleheader.
??? PREDICTS THE WINNER:
 |
| Rob: Alright - I've gathered the "predictors" from the past three seasons of preview posts on this blog to tell you all one thing. YOU STINK! YOU'VE DONE A TERRIBLE JOB! |
 |
| Jar Jar: Heesa bein' right Obi, our picks'a'bein BOMB bad! Dontcha thinkin' dat too??? Obi: What's that, Jar Jar? I wasn't paying attention. I was admiring this fine portrait of my winning battle against Jango Fett... |
 |
| Rob: Obi-Wan, you continue to be the worst. Listen up folks, we need to brainstorm here! Who should pick the winners this year, 'cause the Force KNOWS it can't be you knuckleheads! |
 |
| Lego Ackbar: We aren't capable of predicting picks of that magnitude...unless we have Legos! |
 |
| Pez Vader: The new pick expert should be fun-sized, like me. Search your sugary feelings, you know it to be true! |
 |
| Obi-Wan: Honestly, you all are a bunch of imbeciles. The prognosticator should be somebody of proper size, stature, and grace...such as myself . Jar Jar: And meesa too, right Obi!?! Obi-Wan: Jar Jar, would you mind holding my light saber on the shiny end? |
 |
| Rob: How are we supposed to satisfy so many... holy bantha fodder, who are they!?!?! A CHORUS OF STERN, FEMALE VOICES: SILENCE!!! |
 |
| A CHORUS OF STERN, FEMALE VOICES: WE ARE...TREY REY!!! |
 |
| Rob: It's...it's...three different Reys!!! Lego Ackbar: It's a trap!!! |
 |
| A CHROUS OF STERN, FEMALE VOICES: ALLOW US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES! Lego Rey: i'M LeGo REy! Lil' Rey: i'm lil' rey. Big Rey: AND I'M BIG REY!!!! Trey Rey: TOGETHER WE ARE...TREY REY THE DUEL PREDICTOR! |
 |
| Trey Rey: WITH OUR COMBINED MIGHT, WE PREDICT... JANGO FETT AND OBI-WAN KENOBI WILL WIN THE DOUBLEHEADER MATCHES! IT WILL BE SO. |
 |
| Obi-Wan: They predicted me - I like them already! Tell me Big Rey, have we met before? Are we possibly...related? Big Rey: STOP TRYING TO SPREAD RUMORS ABOUT MY LINEAGE!!! |
...TO BE CONTINUED!
Well folks, just when you think this blog couldn't get nerdier... Good luck to all the Doubleheader combatants, if you aren't playing but want to come out and watch feel free to! We start at 6PM!
