Pyramid variation

This is an interesting idea. Has anyone been able to get data about how much the pyramids change over the course of match play? They flex a lot and I've noticed the pipes routinely coming apart; I had to push some back together after every match I reffed. Does anyone know just pushing things back together enough to keep everything in spec once it's readjusted? Or would more work be required? Regardless, even doing it once would be better than the current way now.

I know we cleared all 8 quite well in a practice round, and were surprised the next day that we hit one, but I'm not sure what did it.
