You don't need to approach the spider leg head on to score (I'm told that is was designed to be fairly forgiving). One bit of math that will come in handy is the equation that allows you to calculate range to the light from the camera tilt angle then it is pointed directly at the light. This method was described in a post last year. This year the centroid of the light will be about 116 inches above the floor.
