Team Pyramid Goal Drawing Incorrect?

[Hallry]

According to the Team Field Drawings, the Pyramid Goal is about 26.75'' tall (6'' 2x4, .5'' plywood, 20'' 2x4, and then .25'' plywood). However, according to the Game Manual, the actual one is 30'' tall (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8fG...1lcHZ2bTA/edit). Why is there the difference? Thanks in advance.

Also - are the 30'', 60'', and 90'' of the horizontal pyramid bars measured from the bottom of the bar, the middle of the bar, or the top of the bar? The Game Manual doesn't seem to say.

Has anyone that has built their pyramid goal noticed this?

The 30", 60" and 90" measurements are to the top of the horizontal members.

As far as the height being wrong, it appears that the field drawings call out for more than a 6" standoff from the top of the pyramid. I think if you make the top of the disc the 120" mark with a 20" (reflective) pole, you should be able to make the standoffs the correct height.

Also note the diference in the amount of chain on the field vs team drawings. I would also suggest using 2"x2" (or slightly smaller) for the pole instead of the 2"x4".

**Disclaimer: I only looked at the drawing for a few minutes.

i think that the pyramid goal drawings are still correct on the measure but maybe just not built right

Well according to the Team Drawings, the Pyramid Goal is about 26.75'' tall (6'' 2x4, .5'' plywood, 20'' 2x4, and then .25'' plywood), correct? Not 30''.
