Narrative:
[I had] A380s; VFR transitions; many departures. I am sure I did something wrong as there were two A380s involved. What we can and can't do was discussed and we have been briefed; but if you don't work it or only once in a great while how do you stay current. I may have had a departure on 1L before another A380 was fully clear on taxiway B. Too many background discussions. I went to look for the procedures and could not find them downstairs. Recommendation; keep the distractions down and have cheat sheets for the A380.
