Why this pitch suits a Guild Ball table
The Mats by Mars 2-in-1 Street Ball Pitch is a tabletop mat printed with a street ball field, complete with cut grass and drawn lines. For Guild Ball players, that means a ready-made pitch surface that sets the scene without any painting or assembly. The mat is described as Guild Ball compatible, so you can treat it as the base layer of your table and build your terrain and teams on top.
The catalog presents this as a PRO BALL arena with a fiery crowd atmosphere, but the practical appeal is simpler: a vibrant, detailed design on heavy weight matte banner material. That material is described as suitable for the outdoors, let alone your gaming table, and the surface has a slight texture intended to keep models from sliding.

Mats by Mars: 2-in-1 Street Ball Pitch - Guild Ball Compatible - Mats by Mars: 2-in-1 Street Ball Pitch - Guild Ball Compatible: Each mat features a slight texture that keeps models from unwanted sliding. A textured surface helps your Guild Ball models stay where you place them during a match, reducing accidental nudges.
- Mats by Mars: 2-in-1 Street Ball Pitch - Guild Ball Compatible: An Anti-Curl mat that lays flat when you need it, and rolls up for easy storage when you don’t! Anti-curl construction means less time fighting edges and more time playing; rolling it up makes cleanup quick.
- Mats by Mars: 2-in-1 Street Ball Pitch - Guild Ball Compatible: A wet-erase compatible, easy to clean, waterproof mat. Spills and stray marks are less of a worry, and you can wipe the surface clean between games.
Setting up the Street Ball Pitch step by step
The catalog does not include a formal instruction sheet, so these steps stick to what the product evidence supports: unrolling, flattening, and using the mat’s surface features. Treat them as a practical routine rather than a manufacturer’s procedure.
- Clear and prepare your table: Start with a clean, dry surface large enough for the mat. The mat is waterproof and easy to clean, but you still want a flat table underneath so the anti-curl mat can lie flat.
- Unroll the mat and let it settle: Because the mat is designed to lay flat when you need it, unroll it fully and give it a moment to relax. If the edges still lift, a gentle reverse roll can help, though the catalog does not specify a particular method.
- Check the pitch orientation: The Street Ball Pitch is a 2-in-1 design, but the supplied record does not describe the two modes or how to switch between them. Look at the printed lines and choose the orientation that matches your Guild Ball game plan; the catalog does not confirm a specific recommended facing.
- Place your terrain and objectives: With the mat flat, set out your Guild Ball terrain, goal markers, and any scenery. The slight texture helps keep models from sliding, but the catalog does not specify how much weight or how many models the texture can hold, so test your own setup.
- Roll up and store after the match: When you are done, roll the mat up for easy storage. The anti-curl design is meant to roll up when not in use. The catalog does not give a specific rolling direction or storage temperature, so use your judgment and avoid sharp folds.
What the catalog does not confirm about this pitch
The supplied record does not list the mat’s dimensions, the exact two modes of the 2-in-1 design, or any official Guild Ball terrain layout. It also does not include preparation or operating instructions beyond the general care notes. If you need precise measurements for a tournament or a custom table, check the product listing or contact the store before you buy.
The catalog does confirm a single Standard variant, so there is no size or orientation choice to make at checkout based on the supplied evidence. That keeps the purchase simple, but it also means you should verify the mat’s footprint against your own table if space is tight.
Quick pre-game checks for a smooth match
- Surface is dry and clean: The mat is waterproof and wet-erase compatible, but starting dry avoids any smearing of printed details.
- Edges lie flat: The anti-curl design should help, but give the mat a final press along the edges before placing models.
- Models sit stable: The slight texture is intended to reduce sliding; if your models still drift, check that their bases are clean and flat.
- Storage plan ready: Roll the mat up after play to keep it tidy and ready for the next game.
