[Dixonary] Rnd 2963 WESAND Results

Hopefully this will post. I guess the lesson learned is, use the home desktop. For some reason, Cory doesn’t think the laptop will do MAPI or IMAP which is how the program reads messages. It wasn’t too bad entering defs by hand, but the scoring was a real pain. As a result, I’ll apologize in advance for glitches in the scoring or results as well as the bogus notification to Tim that he was the next dealer.
