I believe your math might be a little wrong. My team is getting 122 inches from the wall to the base leg of the pyramid. Here is my math.
The field is 54ft long. You take that and put it into inches 54*12=648 inches.
Now the centerline is half of that distance so, 648/2=324inches.
According to the manual section 2.2.2, "The Red and Blue lines are AUTO LINES, located 108 in. to either side of the CENTER LINE" so the AUTO LINE is 324-108=216 inches.
Now according to 2.2.5 of the manual, there is a distance of 94 inches from base to base of the pyramid. Thus 216-94=122 inches.

So I am getting 122 inches from wall to pyramid base.
