Note, the newest version of the tiles requires you to cut the tabs 1/2 off, not fully off. Please refer to the field assembly instructions for more detail.

With the tiles being .5 inches thick would not cutting the edges be allowed by the 1 inch allowed tolerance? Or is the tolerance only for manufacturing errors?

edit Just to clarify this would mean the rail, goal and hanging bar would all be .5 inches higher than designed

Thanks Karthik

We expect that events will do their best to ensure that tabs of the tiles are cut as prescribed in Appendix A.
