University, Round 2: Tape measure vs Protractor
« on: Dec 04, 2012, 02:07 pm »
It's the "Floor Taping Bowl" here in the University Division this week as two favorite tools for translating ground plans to rehearsal space make their debut. The tape measure brings a nicely adjustable style to the game, but the protractor has been known to cover all the angles. Which will win? The experts have made their opinions known, but only the fans will figure it out for sure.

Polls close at midnight CST on Friday.

no argument here. Protractor only useful sometimes, while the tape measure is useful ALWAYS.

Protractor has been warming the benches for years and it is amazing they even had enough players to take the court.
