Clams can either be left blank or indicated as clams. Please be clear as to your intentions.
Spoiler tags are optional. I don't think they'll be necessary on this board format, and I haven't heard any feedback from scorers yet about how much time they add to that process. We can experiment with it and see how it goes.
Well, kids, the ride is starting. Seat backs and tray tables in fully upright and locked position. Seat belts fastened. Time for takeoff.
