Tower strip placement question for ATCOs

I'm doing some curiosity research on flight progress strip placement and I'm wanting to find out what processes are used in other towers around the world with a couple of quick scenarios, they are primarily geared toward towers using paper strips but works for electronic strips as well:

Scenario one: Arriving aircraft has been cleared to land, the strip is in the runway bay. Departing aircraft is cleared to line up and wait behind. Do you place the departing strip above or below the arriving strip?

Scenario two: Two departing aircraft are lined up on the runway, aircraft one is at full the length, aircraft two is at a mid point intersection. Is the mid point intersection departure above or below the full length departure?

Bonus points if you include your medium (paper, electronic, strip-less and just wanted to join in) and reasoning...


Thanks Everyone.
