It's hard to believe, but we are now in the year 2024! AND THE DUELING MUST CONTINUE. After the hoopla of the December Championship, we could really use a palate cleanser. How about a nice, fast Duel? Well, the best way to guarantee a quick game is to crush Duelers with the closing walls of the TRASH COMPACTOR. There's no time to mess around in 2024!

MEET THE DUELERS
We've got a good mix of veterans and newer Duelers for this one! We love to see it!!! We'll highlight each Dueler's "New Year's Resolution" below...
Alex A. - we're pumped to have Alex back at the table after he played at CL Training and the Doubleheader. Alex's resolution is to turn professional in 2024!
Austin - he hasn't played since CL Training, but we're excited to see Austin return to the Dueling world. His resolution for 2024 is to secure a top five finish.
Bekah - she had a personal best finish of fifth place at Thanksdueling! this past November. Bekah's resolution is to crack the top three in 2024!
Elliot - always the bridesmaid, never the bride...until 2024! The pundits are calling it now - Elliot will win his first career Duel this year!!!
Grant D. - still one of the all-time win leaders in league history, it has been a few years since Grant landed in the victory circle. His resolution for '24 is to secure a trophy.
Jackson - the A New Hope Duel will bring Jackson to within a Duel of turning professional (six games played). His resolution is to land a top-four finish this Spring.
Jordann - shoutout to Jordann, who spent part of her Christmas break repairing the Jar Jar trophy. Her resolution for 2024 is to never win it again.
Ian - our recently engaged (!!!) Dueler Ian is still Dueling with us despite wedding planning to attend to. His resolution for 2024? Let his fiancé play with us!
Isaiah - he turned professional at the '23 Championship, and made an outstanding debut at second place in the rankings. His 2024 resolution is to take over the top spot!
Riley B. - the league's most dedicated fanatic is still searching for his first win. His resolution this year is to secure a win before he graduates!
Rob - good governor, Rob won the '23 Championship and hasn't been afraid to remind folks about it. His 2024 resolution is to try and defend it this December.
Spencer - rookie Dueler alert!!! We love first time Duelers at the table!!! Spencer will make his debut at A New Hope. The league's resolution for 2024 is to make sure he has such a good time he comes back and plays with us again.
There you have it, folks! The fighting starts at 7PM this Friday in the North Village classroom. The dianoga is ready to pull unsuspecting characters into the murky depths of the Trash Compactor. One thing's for sure...we're all going to be a lot thinner!
PEW PEW!
