Hmm... a little hard to get out of that wording, but the edges will be taped down with gaffers tape (The same kind of tape used on the carpet seams for the previous years) and the seams between the three pieces will use the fiberglass tape.
Yeah, it is a little hard to get out of that... By the grammar, it sounds like both types of join will be the fiberglass tape. But if you have other info, say from an official position, then that's what we need to go by.

The GDC needs a grammarian to check their work...
