Alan, you need one walk-off mat per entrance, so if I understand your layout correctly (and your question), you don't require two 10' mats there, just 10' of mat in the main direction of travel.

To confirm what you are saying, I only need one walk-off mat at the EXTERIOR entrances only to quality for the point.

I'll try restating, just to be clear. You need 10 feet of walkoff mat in the direction of travel per public entry. The mat is usually inside the door, or if the mat must be placed partially or fully outside, it needs to be under an awning.In a case where there is a main exterior door followed by a small foyer, and then a second door, you need 10 feet of mat for that entry, not 20.
