The variability rule addresses this globally but specifically the guidance on mat placement has been to make it flush with the south wall and centered east-west.  I don't think that will change but we'll have to wait until the official rules come out to see.

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Is Field Mat Shorter than Table?

We recently set up our Field Mat on our FLL table and we noticed it is short on the East-West length.  We have about a 3/4 inch gap at the end.  I checked our table measurements and it is correct based on table building instructions.  Has anyone else noticed this and what is the official rule for lining up the field mat?  Should it be flush against the West and South walls?  
This will make a difference if we use the walls as reference points.
