Now that Dave has given the unofficial answer, (official answers ONLY come from the GDC via the Q&A system), you still need to know a way to mount your valves.
What we have done this year is used "zip ties/ty-wraps" to attach the valves to the mounting board. We drill for holes in the mounting board and then use either a crisscross or a straight across wrap of of the valve.
