[Namron] Fighter Floor Mats

[Doug Copley]

Ouch! Ok, now I know why we don't have them:-)

10' x 10' would be a pretty small field. Tourneys seem to be fought on a 
30' x 30' but even a 20' x 20' would be 4 times that so $1,200, and a 
full tourney list would be $2,700 for just one ring.

How long do they last?
