I like to leave them in a sleeve of 50 and simply fire a rifle round through the bottom and do 50 at once.

Aaaahahaha... sounds like something I'd try to do. A .17 would probably do the trick.

I went to Ross and bought a package of 6 cooking sheets which
have about a 1/2-3/4 inch lip all the way around. They are really
cheap and work great for putting the cups in. You can bottom water
in them too if you want. I stopped using the black plastic flats except
for germinating under domes 'cuz I don't water much when they are
germinating:

Also, instead of making a bundh of holes in the cups, you can use a
box knife and cut four drain holes on the side of bottom of the cups
in about 3 seconds. Seriously.

Scissors will do the job as well. They make the same size slots in the corners of the cups. They definitely drain well and I agree that the structural integrity remains in tact. Good to see that great minds think alike. Happy Growing.
