Okay so I am laying a multiplayer match and I have 3 creatures on the field, Three opponents who will all die if they do not block the one creature i swig at them and I have Leyline of Anticipation on the field.
I go to my attack phase and declare m attackers, (one at each opponent) then before blockers are declared I flash in Dueling grounds.
Since dueling grounds states that Only one creature may block each turn, how would the blockers work. Obviously all opponents wish to block since they die otherwise, but how can they all block if only one creature is allowed to?
Under the rules for "Attack Multiple Players" option, I find this:
802.4b When determining whether a defending player’s blocks are legal, ignore any creatures attacking other players and any blocking creatures controlled by other players.
So, each player assesses the condition on Dueling Grounds as though the other two attacking creatures and creatures blocking them do not exist.

Ah we settled it as the first player (the one to my left) declare blockers first and thus the others would not be able to block i killed them and then blew up my dueling grounds the next turn to kill the final player.

edit: Also note, Dueling Grounds now reads that no more than one creature can attack/block "each combat" - http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=25438

Glad to know how it actually works now.
