Dodge organised duel, to a point (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elude

'dodge' is the definition.
('elude' can be a synonym of 'dodge')

'organised duel to a point' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to a point' becomes 'e' (E is an example**).
'duel' with letters rearranged gives 'elud'.
'elud'+'e'='ELUDE'

(Other definitions for elude that I've seen before include "Avoid; slip one's mind" , "Escape from; baffle" , "Dodge or avoid" , "Evade, escape from" , "Evade; baffle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
