[Dixonary] Round 3053 BROLGA - results (1)

In round 3053 Hugo Kornelis earned top spot with 5 points for his definition "a large dog sled with
room for two passengers; The driver of such a dog sled.", and Stephen Dixon was runner-up and real
winner with 4 points.

The true definition was 13, “a large grey Australian crane which has an elaborate courtship display
that involves leaping, wing-flapping, and trumpeting”, which 3 players guessed; not surprisingly,
Shani was DQ.

No definition submitted:
Tony Abell voted for 3 and 13*, score 0+2=2
Alan Mallach definition lost in ether, score 2 DP
Ben Evan voted for 2 and 3, score 0+0=0

Welcome to new player Ben Evans, who joined us at the voting stage, and to Efrem’s brother Alan,
whose definition sadly got delayed in the ether and reached me after I’d posted the definitions,
hence his 2 DP.

I’ll post the scoring chart in a separate message.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.
