Off the top of my head -

The "Focus" phase of the duel is the contestants augmenting there close combat scores

The "Strike" phase is a simple contest (one roll, one blow!)

Complete Victory - You strike your opponent down before he finishes drawing his sword
Major Victory - You strike your opponent down before he hits you Minor victory - You strike your opponent down but are hurt Marginal Victory - You strike your opponent down but are wounded Tie - Kharmic strike, both duellists killed...
