Three players deserve applause for identifying the real definition. Meanwhile, in
a breathtaking four-way tie, Paul Keating, Dave Cunningham, Bob Stone and Chuck
Emery vie for first place with six points each. Chuck's point's aren't all
natural, so the dealer shakeout is between the remaining three. Paul is ahead in
the four-game rolling scores, so he takes the deal according to the traditional
rules. That leaves Dave, Bob and Chuck as the real winners. Nancy Shepherdson
gets two dealer points because I missed her def.
N.B. I cannot find any votes from Bob Stone.
Take it away, Paul!
