I hope no more than the key was last year...sure, it's popular, but allies learn to share. Plus the goal is wider that last year--we have even more 'horizontal' freedom now, so hopefully it'll be the 2012-style 'finish shooting as the other aims'. We're also trying to tune sitting at the back corner (i.e. beside) the pyramid, but we want to get one of those chain racks built first based on what others have said about bouncing out.

As for hitting the bars, there's a good bit of room. We have a pyramid and are not hitting the bars at all.

@Aaron: The angle discrepancy is because the pyramid is no where near 6 feet from the high goal. I'm not sure where the foot measurement came from. At the correct 122" (~10 feet), it's 40deg with a linear trajectory. We actually only need 30--catching some air, apparently! But we don't like that shot much. Not very consistent for us (catching some air, apparently.) Considering refining it though, particularly if Mr. Forbes is right that there's a queue at the back. The front is more defensible, though. We're essentially indefensible from the back.
