Man, I really laughed hard with all yer replies.

Funny thing is, I'm currently designing my own game mat (still in the drawing phase)
 
You know, theres always those regional mats....the same ones I refused to play on when I first t8-ed lol :p
 
Or that Dragon/Zombie mats one receives from judging an SJC, or after winning 1st place in one of the Hobby Leagues...

...sigh...I won my local store's HL for Feb. and they didn't have any Sangans or mat. All I got instead was the brown YGO DIY cardboard deck box, an XL FET shirt and the PR Heavy Storm...
 
well look at the bright side ur number 1 :naughty_j, but same thing kinda happened to me at houston regionals they didn't have any mats at the austin regionals before the houston one so those people who top 8 there had to goto get their mats at the houston regionals (they gave them the sjc judges mat) and after i got into top 8 for the first time at my third regionals i get the old top 8 mat not that i'm mad or anything its just not as pretty
 
what i did was i searched on google.com and found a site that sells the same playmats given out at regionals on they are a different design, thats how i got mine
 
They cannot be the same ones given out at regionals AND have a separate design.....

At our most recent regionals they gave the HL mat to top 8. Whatever though, right?

But I think this thread has yeilded all the information I need now. Thanks for all replies, but TsunamiArmy I think you just said what I was looking for.

Hey! Howsit?

Real life caught up big time and we just stopped playing for a while. We're playing again, but I doubt I'll have the time to get into it as much as I was before.

What's up with you?

Dang, I didn't get a pix of my Des Rook mat. Have to take one. Here are a couple I did last year:

Those are acrylic on canvas floorcloth. Dunno why you'd want to use an "anti-static" mat. These don't collect static.

Isn't the only reason behind a mat being anti-static so it doesn't build up static when you run your mouse across it repeatedly? Might be that the basic material is just condusive for game mats and outputting. But I don' think you can build up static just playing cards on it.
 
Only reason i used anti-static mat material (when i was making custom mats) was because it is of a similar nature to mouse pad material (nice and spongy and easy to roll up) and i could get large rolls of it (1m x 2m roll) at a reasonable price......but now you can get plain playing mts from ebay, i don't bother anymore...i just buy them online and get the artwork done by an airbrusher i know or the printer in a nearby town (if i have the mat design done on computer, he can just slot that into his machine and go from there)
 
Exactly. I had asked where I could get custom game mats done and noone knew where to get that large of a surface of mousepad material, which is anti-static. Should I have asked for 'a big mousepad'?
 
im gona order a few of the ones comic odyssey sell on ebay....24 inch by 14 inch sounds about the right size to me....the ones i used to make were 30 by 16 so i could fit the rfg section on the mat, and have another space for placing token cards or counters
