How do you guys carry your cards to events and leagues? Right now I'm using one of the tins that you can buy, but it is full. I have another, but I was wondering how you guys do it. You can also discuss the pros and cons of your methods. Please discuss.
Carrier?

1. two small binders: one for rares, one for trainers and Special energies.
2. one deck box: for my deck, of course
pro's:
+lightweight.
+holds lots of stuff.
con's:
-I have no space for uncommons, and commons.
-The binders start to fall apart after 3 months use.

I've got four old card boxes from Base/Jungle/Fossil, nine tins, and two binders...and a deck box. XD
The binders are the best, though...the boxes and tins are filled with dupes of whatever I've got in the binder. I've got the binder sorted by set, and there are 4 of each card from each set in the binder, everything else goes to the tins. Works out really well.

I have a big Blastoise Organized play binder I keep all my Rares and Trainers in. I put that my deck, my dice, and my binder in a drawstring bag.
Pros.
The bag holds everthing well
It looks cool to have a drawstring backpack
Cons.
Sometimes you forget the bag.

Cool. Anyone else? I'm thinking of just putting all my rares and holos in sleeves, and carrying them around in some sort of box. I might go with the binder.
Double Deck Box: One side is my deck, other side is my mini-dice
Mini-Binder #1 (art is the same as my deck box): Holo-rares, Lv. X, EX, shinies, secrets, etc.
Mini-Binder #2 (Rising rivals - Rotom/Scizor): Rev-holo rares and rev-holo notable uncommons.
Mini-Binder #3 (Pikachu, charizard, blastoise, venasaur): Notable rares and notable uncommons.
All of these go inside a mini coca-cola back pack that goes over one shoulder. It works quite well.
Edit: Pros: Keeps cards well protected and really organized, never have to worry where my cards are, it's always on my back so it's safe from thievery
Cons: Cards cannot fit in sleeves in the binder, so no extra protection, having to keep track of a bag all day can be a hassle

1
eckbox for deck(duh)
2:Big binder with all my DP-on rares, trainers(except ones I deem unplayable), special energy(again, except worthless ones),commons and uncommons I deem playable, promos, and the rest of my DP-on RHs that don't count as of the preceding.
3:Small binder with all my rares & promos from before DP.
4:If you count it, a dice case full of mini dice, with a coin(I like better than dice for flipping a coin) and 2 poison markers and 2 burn markers fit into there.
Pros:
Holds cards and supplies well
Keeps cards and supplies organized
Cons:
Practically NEEDS a backpack to manage to carry it all (not because of weight, but because of amount of stuff needing to be carried)

Why do you need dice?
To start, I carry all my stuff in a Gap bagpack.
1-Rhyperior tin with my deck and some sleeves for emergency or to sell. Also, some dices
2-A binder containig all rares from DP on, all SP I have, and some nice trainers. Oh, and promos as well.
3-A Infernape tin where I put all my commons and uncommons.
4-A black bag where I put very important cards, for example Gengar or Dialga G, to see if I makea deck with those.
Cool stuff.

I moved my holos and rares into my binder I got from Nintendo World. And the rest of my cars are in my Dialga tin I have. My deck and counters are in there also. Hopefull I can get a big enough box and just put all my rares into sleeves and move everything in two boxes, one for cards and one for the deck.

So much easier to use than flipping coins, and they also work as damage counters.
Oh ok.
i use a large (really large) ultra pro binder in which i keep all rares, ultra rares, and RH cards from dp-on.
i also keep dp-on promos there (pop sets included).
then i have a mini-binder in which i keep my staraptors (almost 30 of 'em)
and another mini-binder for my trainers and special energys.
my commons/uncommons are under my bed (well, at least some of them i think xD)and the rest of them lies in (empty) booster boxes.
then i have a deckbox in which i keep my primary deck, then a deckbox for my secundary deck.
and my thirdually (not a word, i know) deck is in my *RB*.
i keep all cards i want/need to make decks with in my *RB* too.
my dice are in a dicebox, which is in my bag (not that big of a bag, but also big enough for school xD).
then my binder is in my bag
then my *RB* is in my bag
then my playmat is in my bag
then my deckboxes are in my bag
and the location of my DS varies.
so i guess i take a lot of stuff.
