ABC's Duel, hosted by Mike Greenberg, premiered on December 17 and lasted through December 23, 2007. The six-episode tournament broadcast Monday through Friday at 8:00 PM, culminating on Sunday with the championship match. It was characterized on the show's website as a hybrid of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and the World Series of Poker. Participants competed head-to-head by answering trivia questions about various topics, with incorrect answers adding to a growing reward. Ashlee Register won the Duel jackpot of $1,720,000, making her the first female game show money winner in the United States at the time. Her grand total was approximately $1.8 million when combined with earlier winners. In the second season, which broadcast from April 4 to July 25, 2008, at 9:00 PM, the rules of the game were changed.
