The dictionary used for this round's word presented two separate numbered
definitions. I chose the second of them, but two players were reminded of
the first, which had to do with a type of military fortification, and
notified me that they might be DQ. However, I advised them that their def was
not the one I was using, and the need not be disqualified. One of them,
Johnny Barrs, managed to guess the correct definition anyway, and he, along with
Jim Hart and Dodi Schultz voted for it, creating a D3 for your dealer.

Gary Mason, a newcomer to the game, fooled six players with his cleverly
constructed fake and scores a resounding 6 natural points and the next
dealership. Take it away, Gary.
