You need a new table. You may also need a new carpenter. A school should be using heavier/sturdier materials than a foam table. The north-south (short) side dimensions seem to be off by 1.75 inches (the thickness of a 2x4). Standard practice tables should have a double wall on the north side (at least in the center section as each year there is usually a mission that straddles the wall (the longstanding coopertition theme). Ideally there should also be a 2-2 inch extension ledge level with the inner table surface to support the shared mission model on the outside. Please note that this year's competition mat needs to be trimmed by 1-2 mm on the North edge to fit a regulation table (new materials!)
