Dre,
In my experience building fields the optimum size is 24x48, I think you're getting way to big going 100 inches. Were running the 48x24 fields with just 1 motor and they run very well, I.E reference Michigan Joe's board he had at the Miggle convention, probably one of the better fields I have played on. I have both a 48x24, and a 39x24, both with 1 motor, and both run really good.

I'm not sure what the actual size should be, but talking with Michigan Joe about this very subject, we have come to the conclusion that what ever size you choose, the length should be double the width, meaning that if the width you choose is 20", the length should be 40". But I really believe the optimum size is 48x24.

Default I agree...

...with RD on the optimum size. The one I built using Michigan Joe's instructions is 24x48. Any bigger would make it too unrealistic for play in my opinion, especially for the defense.
