OK, I gave 2 dealer points to everyone whose definition didn't make into the
list, even if the player simply sent it to the wrong email address (6 players
in all). I didn't add dealer points for Bill Bensburg, Frances Wetzstein,
Scott Crom or Chris Carson because they didn't claim their definitions went
missing. To be perfectly fair, their scores may need adjusting if they did
submit defs after all. Even so, the dealer points won't make any difference as
to who won the deal. Apparently Paul's definition more or less matched the
real one in meaning, and it was his wording that was used in the list.
So it looks like Steve Dixon with 9 unnatural points is the next dealer and
Judy Madnick and Paul Quinton tie is the real winners with 5 unnatural each.
Take it away, Steve!
