Hey man, there's already a really popular dm_ map called "dm_duel." Would highly recommend changing the name of your map to something else to both make it more memorable and to make it not have version conflicts between players.

I suggest looking though the tutorials forum and taking a look though map design theories. From a technical standpoint, yes, this map works, but that's unfortunately all the positives I can think of. Here's some pointers:

1. Spawnrooms. Having most of your spawnpoints all lumped together out in the open is a recipe disaster.

2. Layout. Pyros, Engineers, and Heavies are a writeoff here.

3. Concept. If this was supposed to be a map for duelling, there needs to be a lot more going on in it. See previous point

4. Effort. I know I'm walking a tightrope by bringing this up, but this map was likely not the product of any serious thought. It's good that you're learning all the technical aspects, but brainstorming a layout that all classes are useful in takes a very, very long time. Much more time than it takes to come up with an arch and a flat plane.

I'm sorry if this seems overly harsh, but that was ten minutes of my time I'll never get back.
