Red pulls to Blue. Blue picks 3 "handlers" who primarily throw the disc, and 4 "cutters" who primarily catch the disc.
Cutters form a vertical stack in the middle of the field starting about 10 yards away from the disc. Handlers hang back horizontal to the disc.
Front of the stack cuts towards the disc. If open, the disc is thrown.
Next person in the stack makes a continuation cut. If open, the disc is thrown.
If no one else moves, the person with the disc will run out of players to throw to.
Also, we run out of open space on the field. A single defender hanging out on the right side of the field could potentially shut down this entire offensive.
Instead, we need the whole team to move as a unit and ensure we reset to the center of the field.
All of the cutters are timing their movements off the person who cuts before them. If the disc is thrown to the first cut, then cuts are adjusted accordingly.
When a cutter throws a disc, they must hussle to clear out of the throwing lane and then back into the stack. The handlers trail behind as needed.
Play continues down field with cutters resetting back into position to receive down field throws.
Realistically we will only have so many continuation opportunities.and need to reset the disc back to the handler and the cutters return to a vertical stack. Generally speaking, cutters should not be looking downfield for continuation cuts for more than a couple of seconds before locking eyes with handlers in hopes of resetting the disc.
We also need to be sure to attack both sides of the field, otherwise the defense will simply camp out in the primary throwing lane. Outside of break throws, our handlers can attack the other side of the field by dumping...
and swinging the disc. Now cuts can come to the opposite side of the field.
And so on
And so forth.
If the continuation cut is there, we make the throw.
If the continuation cut isn't there or is covered, then the disc needs to be reset back to the handlers, to work the other side of the field.
The cutter resets back to the stack, and the handlers get into position for a dump
and then the swing
Again, working both sides of the field.
Note, it is not the primary job of the cutter to throw the disc down field. The primary job of the cutter is to make down field cuts.
If the cutter gets the disc, they have a couple of seconds to assess what continuation cuts are out there.
If the continuation is not available, then the disc should reset to the handler as quickly as possible. Let the handlers do their job of keeping the disc moving to both sides of the field. The cutter should clear out to the break side as to avoid clogging the throwing lane and create space for the next cut.
If cuts are from the front of the stack, then cycle back to the top of the stack, while the handlers center the disc.
Although the cutters will still make 45 degree cuts, they will be moving in a somewhat circular fashion to replay the person who cut before.
Two cutters are faking and cutting to the force side
While two other cutters are clearing out and resetting back to the stack.
Again, this is just a general idea of how this will flow in theory.
As you can see, it lends itself well for handlers who can work both sides of the field.
