Vince, I believe that you are fine with your spacing since you are going up the slope with your 11-6½ (if I understand your description). If you space your heads 10' apart perpendicular to the slope then you have to go to a 20 psi end head condition. Just keep your heads at 8' apart and you are fine. Your spacing will end up 8 x 11-6½.
I hope this makes sense. If not, let me know and I can call you. It's very difficult for me to put into words what is easy to show with a picture or snapshot.

Referring to Table 8.6.2.2.1 (a) - (spacing along slopes), I have this condition: Wood trusses, 36 in or less, pitching 6"/ft The "bay" is 31-0 actual, resulting in a line spacing of 10-4, or 11-6½ on that slope. My question: Does that slope dimension of 11-6½ - apply to the perpendicular dimension of 10 ft in that table? If not, can someone make sense of this?
