Back-to-back contests where seconds count? (5)
I believe the answer is:
duels
This clue might be a double definition.
'back-to-back contests' is the first definition.
'duels' can be an answer for 'contests' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'back-to-back' bit.
'where seconds count?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for duels that I've seen before include "Affairs of honour" , "Clashes" .)
