[Dixonary] Round 3104: GRA [Results]

The real winner of this round, with a spectacular 8 votes, was the OED.

No fewer than 4 players tied for second place, with 4 points each: Dan Widdis, Efrem Mallach, Judy Madnick, and Tim Lodge. None of those scores was a natural, so the leader in the rolling scores takes the next deal. With 15 points from the last 5 rounds, including this one, that is Efrem Mallach.

Paul,

This format is very confusing. Also, my def was #7, not #13. So I think you have switched the scores of Alan Mallach and me. And shouldn't the owner of #13 have received either 2 or 4 points, given 2 votes for that def? I can't say if that has happened to anyone else.Â* You also have Tony Abell with 1 vote but do not note any voters after his def.

--Mike

Paul – Mike is right – my def was #13. And I do think I get 4 points, as Mike points out.
