We've used several control board schemes since I joined my team, and all were very different. The first one I used was our 2000 board, a one-piece wood board. It had 3 sticks, so it was pretty short and fit in our crate. The 2001 board, however, required 4 sticks, so we made a 2-piece wood board with space underneath for all the wires. It worked okay, but the two pieces were a pain to carry. Last year, we decided to make it all one piece, but in a tri-fold design. It was easy to store and carry, but we bent our radio antenna three times with it. We still have yet to devise the perfect board.
