In Round 2023, Jim Hart and Mike Shefler tied for top spot with 4 natural
points each, followed by Nancy Shepherdson and Russ Heimerson
who each scored 3.
I'm afraid declaring the next Dealer is a bit beyond me,
so I will throw it open to all you wiser ones out there.
Please could "somebody" announce the Dealer for 2024?
The true definition of MUSCARDINE was No. 5
