Our two competitors for the University League have both fought tough uphill battles to earn their spots in the sweet sixteen. Binder had the first close shave of the tournament, winning 37 to 19 against the digital light board. Scale rule fought mightily and came from behind to take out Blue gel 28 to 18.
Will binder's simple omnipresence overwhelm the cerebral nature of scale rule's general purpose? Will scale rule be able to surmount the metric/standard debate to win for a second time? Only the fans can decide for us.
Voting is open through Tuesday at noon CST.
