The VEX Robotics Competition (part of IFI) uses a 12x12 field the same size as the one used in FTC. The FIRST version of the field hasn't been available for several months, and most people who have used both (in my experience) prefer the VEX field anyway. You can order one here: http://www.vexrobotics.com/vex-competitions.shtml. Scroll down and you'll find it, along with free plans for a build-it-yourself practice field.
