Well, running a little late this morning due to a small computer issue that I had to clear up before collecting the votes. I see that I received 12 votes out of 16 players so I hope that I haven't somehow missed some votes. In any case, on to the results as presently recorded.
In round 2088, 3 players earned top spot with 3 points: they were Tim Bourne, Chuck Emery and Judy Madnick. Judy Madnick's definition "Red dye made from brazil wood; a reddish or red-orange colour." earned its author the deal by virtue of her rolling score total, so the others can heave a sigh of relief that their defs did not earn one more vote.
There were 4 players in runner-up position with 2 points
each: Tony Abell, Millie Morgan, Nancy Shepherdson and
Guerri Stevens.
The true definition was 9: "The concave curve of a boat's
keel." (OED 2nd Edition). One lucky guess just pipped me for
a D0.

12. A ski boot clamping device comprised of a ski clamp
mounting plate which has an end with a raised portion
forming a hook. The boot clamp has a first portion
which is adapted to extend across the ski for
engagement with the rear end of the boot and which has
a skirt which has an engagement end which is engageable
behind the plate raised portion with the hook. The boot
clamp also has a second portion which is rotatably
mounted in a cylindrical formation on the side of the
ski and it is biased by a spring so that when the first
portion becomes released from the boot, the first
portion is rotated by rotation of the second portion at
least over 180° so that it extends downwardly into
engagement with the snow so as to hold the ski against
movement.
