Round 3171 JAMDANI Results

[Tim Lodge]

As everyone who submitted a def, plus one who didn't, has voted, I'm invoking Rule 8(a)(2) and closing the round early.

Five people voted for the real def number 7, the Indian cloth, giving me a D5.  Tim Bourne and Paul Keating tied with innatural 5s.  They're also tied in the rolling scores, but Paul is well ahead in the toal scores, so he becomes the next dealer.  Johnny Barrs was DQ.

Over to you, Paul
