Default [Dixonary] Round 2927 results

Ryan McGill and Keith Hale, whose defs I combined, are the winners with 7
points. Since both are tied in the rolling scores, I had to go back to the
total scores for the 2nd tiebreaker (it's been a very long time since that
happened). The upshot is that Keith Hale is the next dealer and Ryan McGill
can breath a sigh of relief.
