Not that it particularly matters, but that's not quite accurate.
Carpet tape is solely used for attaching two pieces of carpet together. It contains an unmelted glue which is melted by a heated iron and then the two seams are pressed down on top of it.
Gaffers tape (which you are referring to) is used to patch holes in the carpet, lay down lines on the field, etc.
