Edge: A very heavy one to Rakeesh, as one might expect from no. 1 vs. no. 16.

In both instances, the winner of the duel went on to win DoS Madness.

vs.
Fio Helston(12): N/A. Helston is a Madness rookie; 2013 will be her maiden voyage into this competition. Madness Duel Record: 0-0. Best Showing: N/A. Worst Showing: N/A. Total Points Scored: 0. Total Points Scored Against: 0.
Edge: A rather big one to El Orco. Jake's been a very hot-and-cold Madness duelist; either kicking ass and taking names, or..well, getting his ass kicked and his name taken. Consistently does serious damage, but has never broken through to the final rounds. This is all preferable, of course, to a Commoner whose duel against Jake will be her first Madness duel ever. Trivia: Even though Maria Graziano is presently an active Warlady, there will be no Round 4 in her famous Madness rivalry with Jake, as she has not entered this year. Fio will be the first member of the Helston clan to compete in DoS Madness.
Marric Dorsvle(4): N/A. 2013 will be Marric's first Madness. Madness Duel Record: 0-0. Best Showing: N/A. Worst Showing: N/A. Total Points Scored: 0. Total Points Scored Against: 0.
vs.
Jedi(13): 2012: No. 13 seed, Oakenshield Division. Lost to Current Falon no. 2 seed Matt Simon, 5-4(First Round). Madness Duel Record: 0-1. Best Showing: 2012(First Round). Worst Showing: See Best Showing. Total Points Scored: 4 points. Total Points Scored Against: 5 points.
Edge: Draw. This may seem a little unfair, given that the Jedi actually has Madness experience...but if you have one first-round loss under your belt, it's not much of an advantage in experience over a debut. Especially when said debut is a WL while you are a Commoner, and said debut did quite well in the most recent WLT.
Anubis Karos(6): 2007: No. 3 seed in Athlstan Division. Def. Felix Pride, 5-4(First Round), lost to Current Oakenshield no. 1 seed Tasslehofl Momus, 5-1.5(Second Round). 2008: Final Four: No. 13 seed in Gondar Division. Def. Kelten Tarkenstone, 5-1(First Round), def. Corlanthis Wystansayr, 5-3(Second Round), def. Samilee Burke, 5-4(Sweet Sixteen-Gondar Div. Semis), def. Current Falon no. 3 seed Lem DeAngelo, 5-1(Elite Eight-Gondar Div. Finals), lost to Dalamar Divisional Champion Leo de Lorenzo, 5-2(Final Four-Championship Semifinals). Claimed 3 free-of-charge WoL as a prize. 2009: No. 3 seed in Dalamar Division. Def. Neo Eternity, 5-3(First Round), lost to Aya Hayashibara, 5-4(Sweet Sixteen-Dalamar Div. Semis). 2010: No. 1 seed in Xenograg Division. Def. Athos, 5-3(First Round), def. Maranya Valkonan, 5-2(Second Round), def. Stiles Mornay, 5-2(Sweet Sixteen-Xenograg Div.

Worst Showing: 2011(First Round). Total Points Scored: 58 points. Total Points Scored Against: 54 points.
vs.
Charles Blackstone(11): N/A: Blackstone is making his Madness debut in 2013. Madness Duel Record: 0-0. Best Showing: N/A. Worst Showing: N/A. Total Points Scored: 0. Total Points Scored Against: 0.
Edge: A very, very big one for Anubis Karos. The Egyptian's Madness career is much like that of the half-orc who shares a division with him: A lot of damage typically gets done in the brackets, but(with one major exception in 2008), he doesn't quite break into the final rounds. As with Jake Thrash, though...this is vastly preferable to a Madness rookie. Trivia: Anubis has dueled in all editions of DoS Madness to date, and has competed at least once in all four originally named divisions.
Nayun(3): 2012: No. 4 seed, Karnafexx Division. Def. PJ Ramirez, 5.5-4.5(First Round), lost to Current Ganderfald no. 6 seed Anubis Karos by forfeit(Second Round). Madness Duel Record: 1-1. Best Showing: 2012(Second Round), Worst Showing: See Best Showing. Total Points Scored: 5.5 points. Total Points Scored Against: 4.5 points.
vs.
Shale(14): N/A: The upcoming DoS Madness will be Shale's first. Madness Duel Record: 0-0. Best Showing: N/A. Worst Showing: N/A. Total Points Scored: 0. Total Points Scored Against: 0.
Edge: Nayun, but not by as large of a margin as you would expect from a no. 3 seed vs. a no. 14 seed. Trivia: Nayun may face Anubis Karos in the second round. Note that we haven't said "again".
Gren Blockman(7): 2010: No. 16 seed, Athlstan Division. Lost to Jaycynda Ashleana, 5-1(First Round). 2011: No. 11 seed, Falon Division. Def. Maranya Valkonan, 5-2(First Round), def. Roderick Douglas, 5-1(Second Round), lost to Wyheree, 5.5-4.5(Sweet Sixteen-Falon Div. Semis). 2012: No. 8 seed, Falon Division. Lost to Current Oakenshield no. 6 seed Aurast Dagger Sasc, 5.5-2(First Round). Madness Duel Record: 2-3. Best Showing: 2011(Sweet Sixteen). Worst Showing: 2010, 2012(First Round). Total Points Scored: 17.5 points. Total Points Scored Against: 19 points.
vs.
Elaine Aqua(10): N/A; this will be her first Madness. Madness Duel Record: 0-0. Best Showing: N/A. Worst Showing: N/A. Total Points Scored: 0. Total Points Scored Against: 0.
Edge: A minor one to Gren Blockman. Unlike the last losing Madness career record, he has enough wins to justify an edge over a Madness rookie. Trivia: This will be Gren's first Madness out of the lower-right quadrant bracket(Athlstan Division/Falon Division).
Jay Capistrano(2): 2008: No. 14 seed, Dalamar Division. Def. Aya Hayashibara, 5-2.5(First Round), def.

Zara Coalwood by mid-duel forfiet, 4.5-0(First Round), def. Cpt. Stephen Kidd, 5-0(Sweet Sixteen-Xenograg Div Semis), def. Jaycynda Ashleana, 5.5-2.5(Elite Eight-Xenograg Div. Finals), lost to Tormay Eludes, 5.5-2(Final Four-Championship Semifinals). Claimed 3 free of charge WoLs as a prize. 2010: No. 6 seed, Gondar Division. Def. Samiyah Zahn, 5-0(First Round), def. Current Oakenshield no. 2 seed Xanth Van Bokkelen, 5-1(Second Round), def. Current Karnafexx no. 3 seed Kalamere Ar'Din, 5-4(Sweet Sixteen-Gondar Div. Semis), lost to Current Oakenshield no. 10 seed Riz Graziano, 5.5-4.5(Elite Eight-Gondar Div. Finals). 2012: No. 6 seed, Oakenshield Division. Def. Erin Dunbridge by forfiet(First Round), def.

Edge: Jay Capistrano. I think it may be literally impossible to overstate just how big that edge is. Trivia: Jay Capistrano may have more winning shutouts than anyone in Madness history.
vs.
