You can build stuff, put up defenses, prepare offense etc. You can run around the globe, you can teleport, you can fly, in that time. But you can't affect the actual battlefield - once the match starts it resets so you only have what you carried/created on you.
Imagine that when the minute is up you go through a portal which takes you to the reset battlefield [reminder: Battlefield will be a merger of non-populated DC/Marvel Earth but with no tech other than what you have on you/what you can create [so there's no Baxter Building, no Batcave, no Watchtower etc.]. Standard 0.5km starting distance. No BFR.] So you can't actually start digging holes to hide inside during prep on the battlefield, because it will all be reset.
For the sake of eliminating loopholes, the merged Earth is very randomized, so you won't even know where Gotham is or shit like that. And Gotham won't have a batcave, etc. You just have 'generic materials', not unlike on our Earth, around.
Just in case it's not clear - contestants are not interacting during prep, at all. Imagine that they're prepping on exact but separate duplicate envionments.
They only meet and interact for the first time when the bell rings and the match starts.

What's starting distance now that I think about it ?
