This was an Interesting round from my perspective.. I gained a D2 which is much better than my last two attempts, but the first vote
in had spoiled the D0 so I wasn't kept waiting on tenterhooks...

I had just worked out who was next dealer via rolling scores when another vote came in - late to me by about half an hour but its
header showed that it was posted in time... So recalculate ... and ...
Chuck Emery, Toni Savage and Scott Crom each have 5 natural points so by the rolling scores Scott is our next dealer amd Chuck and
Toni are the real winners.

Over to you Scott.
