Small, hard objects falling off robots and being run over may punch holes in the surface, so the fields should be meticulously cleaned between matches...IMHO...

The edges of the regolith will be taped down with gaffers tape to the carpet. Hopefully that will keep the robots from getting caught on the edge. In addition, the field will repaired and cleaned as necessary.
