Mats Layout Diagram

The mats will be laid out exactly as shown in the diagram below.  There will be seven rolls of mat (6 feet by 42 feet each) extending vertically from the judges table, with five strips of velcro crossing them horizontal to the judges table.  There will also be an additional roll of mat on each end, attached to the main 42×42 square by a strip of velcro running along the length of the seam.  This will make a 54 by 42 foot rectangle, though teams can remain within the traditional 42×42 square area if they choose.  There are no penalties for going off the mat.
