After pollination has occurred and you're sure that the pumpkin is the "one", you place a mat under it to protect it from rodents and pooling water. I always mound the soil slightly higher under the pumpkin so that water will run off the mat. I have used these mats for 7 years and have never had a problem. I like these mats because, as the pumpkin grows, you can simply add to the first one and expand the mat in any direction. One last step preparing the pumpkin for its astronomical growth is to place some sand under the pumpkin. This all for the pumpkin to move on its own and for you to adjust the stem to vine angle.
