When the Challenge comes out on Thursday, look in the Field Set Up section for instructions on mat placement.  If I remember correctly, instructions are given in this section on how to align the mat with the table.

Subject: Re: [VADCFLL-L] Mat fit

Hi Eric,
I did not measure, but there is a tiny amount of space around the sides of our mat too.  It was the same way last year.  We just positioned ours as far to the left and down as we could, so that it lined up with the left and bottom sides.  I can't remember if we were told specifically to do this or not.  There will be an ongoing Q & A blog that coaches can post questions to, and get official answers from FLL, once the season starts.  So that might be a good place to ask.

Team 956 is using a table that another team has used for years and that team
was very successful during those years. The table is regulation sized.

This years challenge mat is small by about 3/4 of an inch in the long
direction and maybe 3/8 in the short direction.  Are other teams seeing the
mat not fully fit the table?

Thanks
