My team went with the binder this year and last year (not sure about the years before then...) and it works just fine. My only advice besides keeping things in order is bring a hole puncher as many teams now have hand outs about their teams that might be helpful. The binder is good just because if you're scouting a team and someone else wants to help you can just take the page out and let them do their own thing... (ex: scouting from the stands you can have 2 people each with two teams instead of one person on a laptop trying to follow 4 teams). Also, some questions I've learned are VERY important to ask are whether teams have suction cups, etc. to keep them on the bridge, if they have wings or arms, and if they have been to any other competitions this year (and if so how did they do). Hope that helps, and sorry if I accidently repeated someone elses advice. ; ) Good luck with everything!
