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.

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.

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?
