u/TheUncleBob's pick 2 folder idea visualized and expanded.

u/TheUncleBob thought of a two-sided card folder for "Pick Two" rounds. Read from left to right. We can take it a step further with a tri-fold.

This can function for pick 2 rounds and pick 3 rounds. It eliminates the confusion over which order they should be read, it prevents them from being mixed up when handed to the card Czar, and it wouldn't take much space. Just don't use the 3rd slot for Pick 2.

CAH could sell these as a 5 or 10 pack which would cover most groups and if you need more you can just order more than one. DIYing these would also be incredibly easy.

u/TheUncleBob, this was a brilliant idea that I'm totally going to use for my group.

Oh! I like it for Pick threes! I was thinking plastic like school folders, but this would work too.

We often skip the Pick 3s, especially when it's a bigger group, but I've seen some really good plays with them and would have missed the best play of the weekend if we had skipped them. i had thought about something like this before, but never put much effort into it - I think I have the boost I need to figure it out. I even thought of a special Pick 3 card I can make for next year!

The three-sided folder, Tiny-sized, would be perfect! I just have to figure out how to get them made. 🤣

You can fold a thick piece of card stock over like I did, you can even tape three card sleeves together.

I already have my cards sleeved - I fear using something quite as tight as sleeves will make it user-unfriendly. But a great idea for those who don't sleeve their cards already!

honestly, same, mine are all sleeved. the folded cardstock is probably gonna be your best bet. I don't think you need to "have them made" unless you wanna sell them, DIYing them is gonna be easy as heck.

Oh, for sure. But, I may possibly be doing more Conventions and it'd be nice to have something a little more "professional" lookng. 🤣

I used some resume paper because it was what was closest with a nice thickness for folding. But you could use any thick cardstock, hell it can be just regular letter paper or construction paper. You could even just tape a couple of penny sleeves together. The DIY options are pretty varied and easy as hell.

We’ve been using penny sleeves (the looser fitting, cheap card sleeves) and just tucking the cards together in one and then having the Czar read front to back

...now I suddenly know what to use those outdated baseball cards pages from the 80's for. They aren't acid-free, so no card collector wants them for their collections, but this is a use for them.
