What i usually do is google all the topics stated in the rules, or go to encyclopedia Britannica, then put the printed copis in my binder, but yeah encyclopedia Britannica is a prtty good source, so is kahn academy

1) Not in the event, so I don't know anything about the binder.
2) Wikipedia is your best friend (except in Fossils)

My partner and I had about 700? pages (it was almost 3 inches worth of paper) of just straight up wikipedia. Given how fast paced nationals was I don't think the binder is that important

Speaking of which (for binders in general) do you find sheet protectors to be useful? I tend to use them in Fossils because it helps me turn the pages, but I haven't done any other binder events before this year (well, I did Simple Machines but that doesn't really count; we used the binder ~3 times total in 2 years).

I don't think we used sheet protectors at all throughout our binder, mainly because it seemed like too much time and effort for (what I viewed as) minimal, if any gain.

However, when we did end up using our binder, some pages would get their holes ripped (from trying to turn like 500 pages at once really quickly lol), so I think that if you use your binder a lot, it could be useful to use sheet protectors on the most used pages. However, I think using them for all the pages can be expensive, time consuming, and a bit overkill.
