[Dixonary] Round 2852: GALLIPOT Results

Happy to do it if necessary but I think Judy and Tim come before me as
they are natural 3's

I have thought for a while that the choice of next dealer should somehow
reduce the effect of guessing correctly - when there are 30 playing then
the extra 2 points are a suitable deciding factor but when it is 13
playing the extra 2 points become a little over-heavy (eg here: Judy and
Tim scored 3 natural, Dave scored 2 +2*)

just a thought
