Based upon the wording, I would assume that binders sold at OfficeMax, Amazon, etc. as "2 inch binders" would be appropriate.I was wondering about the new 2 inch or less binder rule. Is the measurement defined as the width of the spine or the diameter of the rings? Because I always thought it was width of the spine but apparently its actually the diameter of the rings.
Our binder looks the same haha. I don't know how people manage big binders. They're ridiculous to maneuver to me.I think reducing binder size is a good thing. Last year, there were many 6 inch binders at competition!
How are you setting up your binder given this change?
It just takes practice. We had 5 inches of stuff in a 6 inch binder for Crave The Wave, and we could find almost anything in it in about 10 seconds. We had to have the extra room to maneuver the papers, and it was a bit bulky, but it came in handy. It also requires the right kinda rings, or it won't allow the pages to move.Our binder looks the same haha. I don't know how people manage big binders.

Well now I'm curious what you had in 5 inches of paper for Crave the Wave...It just takes practice.

A LOT... I would give specifics, but it disappeared two years ago, and I only have the inch I had copied. It was color scans of textbook pages and the rules and enough other stuff to teach a year's high school physics... And, it all pertained in some way or another...Well now I'm curious what you had in 5 inches of paper for Crave the Wave...It just takes practice.

I've had a 5" binder for Rocks, Fossils, and Herpetology so it does make a bit of a difference cutting that much size off IMOYeah we had a either 1or 2 inch I don’t remember. It doesn’t make much of a difference 6 inch or 2 inch, unless you have too much info. Then you resort to tiny font and page by page color coding.
I've always found it harder to find information in bigger binders, so what's your opinion on this? How was the five inch binder organized?I've had a 5" binder for Rocks, Fossils, and Herpetology so it does make a bit of a difference cutting that much size off IMO
I always have the list/some form of the list in the front, then general info and charts, then the specimen pages themselves (all in sheet protectors so I could take them out of the binder easily at competition)I've always found it harder to find information in bigger binders, so what's your opinion on this?

This seems to be the common pattern, but how do you have time to take out the sheets during competition?!I always have the list/some form of the list in the front, then general info and charts, then the specimen pages themselves (all in sheet protectors so I could take them out of the binder easily at competition)I've always found it harder to find information in bigger binders, so what's your opinion on this?
