Andrew does have a point, though - there's no guarantee that they'll look at the materials at all. I always half-jokingly say that the *thud* that the materials make when you set them down on the table is more important than the actual contents - if they're impressed by how big your binder is, then you're good.

Big binders are like big trucks...
If you can't present your information quickly and easily perhaps that's something you should focus on. Judges don't have time to read 30 pages of fluff. Distill it down to the story you're trying to tell, the judges will thank you.
