Sticking Ramps and Fat Goals!

Hi all,
I know some people noticed at the New England Regional that the ramp seemed to be sticking a bit. By this I mean the ramp was more of a 5-6 point stable ramp instead of a 3 point stable ramp. After close observation my team noticed that the 2 angle brackets where tight up against the two angle supports across the wooden barrier, as opposed to the ramp we used at home (and many other teams also) which was loose on those angle supports. My question goes out to anyone at the KSC Regional, did any of you notice this stickiness in the ramp down there? Also we believe that the PVC piping that first used on the goals was a little larger in diameter than the goals we constructed. Did anyone notice this at either regional?
Thanx much,
Andy Grady
