Round 3597 - RESURATE Results
Tony Abell
When Eric Boxer sent me a definition whose meaning was exactly the opposite of the real one, I was faced with a dilemma. It would look weird to combine them, but keeping them separate would also draw attention to both. I picked the latter course, resulting in 3 players voting for the pair, giving me a D3. Debbie Embler was one of them, and with 4 natural points as well, she takes the deal with 6 points. Eric is the real winner with 4 natural points, and Mike Shefler with 4 mixed points.
