Re: Binder Thickness
Back in my Fossils and R&M days we used 5-inch binders, but none can compare to chalker's monster Crave the Wave binder he showed a picture of once that I couldn't find again.
(also why is this in the nats forums lmao)

Re: Binder Thickness
I didn't do binder this year, last year was around 2 inches for invasive. I'm personally not a big fan of large binders and it was already hard enough to find things when my binder broke during competition and some pages fell out/got out of order. I just IDed the animal quickly and only went through if I had time, otherwise answered with whatever made sense

Re: Binder Thickness
Last year my hover binder had 3 whole textbooks in it...we never opened it ONCE during a test. RIP trees...
Also, at nationals last year, the road binder apparently had 4 pages, which were the required USGS topo symbols (I didn't do it last year). They placed third lol

Re: Binder Thickness
Yeah road binders don't require much, but ours had every single shred of notes from our schools road teams dating back at least 4-5 years

Re: Binder Thickness
Back in 2016, my 3rd place Invasives binder was 6 inches. We taped the rings to prevent pages from falling out. Our 4th place Fossils binder was 5 inches.
This year our herp binder is 5 inches and he's starting to overflow.
