If my manual scoring is accurate, in Round 2344, #18, submitted by: Hale, earned five votes (Weltz, Shefler, Mallach, Dixon, and Schultz)...so Keith Hale is our next dealer. Lots of players received two votes!
The true definition was 6: "Possessing only small coins; impoverished" (www.thefreedictionary.com/), which no one guessed. However, there were two DQs during the voting phase, Dan Widdis and Johnny Barrs. Chris Carson thought he might be a DQ before the definitions were posted, thinking that "obulary" might mean "spineless" -- I hope that wasn't why he didn't vote!
I apologize for missing the spelling error in #13 when I "cut and pasted" the definitions. I was so overwhelmed with the manual scoring that I didn't read the submissions as carefully as I might have.
If you see any errors, please advise!
Take it away, Keith! --Judy
