Holy bantha fodder, we're already at the end of August! And that means it's time for the annual DOUBLEHEADER! As always, Rob's hosting it at his house, so there will be Star Wars-themed snacks, plenty of Yoda Soda, and dips in the bacta tank (his backyard pool) for anybody who needs to heal from a light saber plunged in their back.
"Doubleheader" means exactly what you think - we're playing twice in one day! The first game will be at 2PM and will be in the lovely Rancor Dungeon. And that means, you guessed it...there will be a Rancor to deal with! Game two will start at 7PM and be contested in the Naboo Reactor Pit, the famous setting of the epic Darth Maul vs. Qui-Gon Jinn battle from Episode I. This is a fun but frustrating board as the laser walls will spontaneously open and close throughout the night. But both travelling Fett trophies are up for grabs! PEW PEW!

MEET THE DUELERS:
Let's take some time to introduce the folks who are playing the 12th annual Doubleheader!
Alex G. - game 1 & 2 - Alex certified himself as a rookie sensation at last year's Doubleheader, when he won his second Duel in just his third career game. He's love to defend his trophy.
Ally - game 1 & 2 - This rookie Dueler played her first match at CL Training, and she's already back for more! That's the kind of determination that leads to future trophies.
Caden - game 1 & 2 - Lost in the hubbub of CL Training and move-in was that Caden turned pro at the CL Training Duel! Once a Dueler hits six career games they're considered a veteran. Congrats, Caden!
Curtis - game 1 - Everyone's favorite facilities manager is jumping in for game one to meet some of the new CLs entering the league. Curtis won twice at this summer's 12x12-way weekend, which was quite impressive.
David M. - game 2 - new Dueler alert!!! Welcome to the table, David! We're glad to have you join for the nightcap.
Eric - game 2 - speaking of BRC Duelers...Eric had a career-best third place finish at the CL Training Duel, and turns pro at the Doubleheader! Perhaps he'll do so by winning a trophy...?
Grant - game 1 - this seasoned veteran is officially appearing in his 12th year of the league with his Doubleheader match. And he's still never finished in last place!!!
James - game 1 & 2 - nobody had a better night than James at the CL Training Duel a couple of weeks ago! After losing his minor character early, he came back to win it all with The Stranger, good for James' second career victory!
Jordyn - game 1 & 2 - shoutout to Jordyn, who helped run the side game at CL Training! The best Star Wars pun distributor in the league gets two shots at her first career win on Sunday.
Josiah - game 1 & 2 - it sure seems like Josiah is due for a career-first win, right? The league vet is now in season two and ready to make a mark.
Justin - game 1 & 2 - Justin has one career victory, and it came at last year's Doubleheader! He would love nothing more than to defend his trophy and bring it back home to the HRC.
Matthew I. - game 1 & 2 - new Dueler alert!!! Welcome to the table, Matthew! He will be appearing in his first two league-official games at the Doubleheader. We love the padawans!
Nayshaun - game 1 & 2 - for CL Training being his first career Duel, Nayshaun demonstrated an incredible amount of poise! Let's hope his character doesn't get stuck in a corner for half the game again...
Rob - game 1 & 2 - there's a dirty rumor the Dueling Godfather is turning !!!!! lightyears old this weekend! Can an old-timer still hang with these young Jedi at the Dueling table???
MEET THE CHARACTERS:
Ok - we know who the Duelers are...how about the characters??? Here's game 1, in the Rancor Dungeon!
And here's game 2!
