I heard Duel will be returning in April. Will it be in a tournament format?

Err, maybe there's some sarcasm I'm not picking up, but the ABC Duel website is no more. The game is still up, but no homepage.

Good spot! It looks like they've taken it down very recently as I noticed on Saturday the following on their website.

Interesting...they now show, what, Grey's Anatomy reruns in that slot? I doubt it'll pull primetime TPiR numbers, but I'd like to think that numbers better than Grey's reruns would look good for ABC...even if it gives NBC's 9:00 show a run for the money, it says something.

What was NBN's numbers last year?

No indication that Greenie's coming back for this run (although I would suppose that he would).

However, all the futon critic does is reference the same ABC website, as a source, that is now down.

The rules were unintuitive?  There wasn't enough suspense?

Oy.

Oy, indeed. If America can somehow figure out that you make money on consonants and pay money for vowels while at the same time remembering which ones are the vowels, it wouldn't seem that the basic "Duel" rules were a problem.

The idea of a two-player, head-to-head high stakes game has limitless potential, and the "Duel" people may actually have a workable game format if only they'd mount it right.
