Re: The Pyramid Goal...

See pg 17 in the game manual...

Section 2.2.3
Quote:
Located atop each PYRAMID is a PYRAMID GOAL. The PYRAMID GOAL is a polycarbonate and metal framed
“basket” that is a 23 5/8 in. square that is 2 3/4 in. deep. Rising out of the center of the PYRAMID GOAL is a 20 in. tall,
1 1/2 in. diameter post. Hanging from the top of the post are chains (Ace Hardware P/N: 5365283) to help dampen the
DISCS as they enter the PYRAMID GOAL.

Hate to be the guy that tells you to read the manual but it is under section 2.2.3

Re: The Pyramid Goal...

The manual is a good source for a lot of information. However, I often find it lacking enough details about specific field elements to answer all my questions. If you need exact specifications, I suggest looking at the game field drawings located here: http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default...c_Drawings.pdf

Don't look at the team drawings, because those often deviate from the real field dimensions to make it "easier" for teams to build them.

Re: The Pyramid Goal...

We'd all read the manual. We were just forgetting where we saw that topic in. Thank you all for the helP
