A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
Regarding this:
If there must be a duel to win the province, and the other players just "may" target a personality they control, then one can simply choose not to target anybody and render the event useless? I think that the ruling pretty much kills the event, was that truly design's intent?

I see the issue, but the current wording of "If you lost none of these duels" indicates the effect is conditional on there being a duel. Will get back on this.
