Step by step 12 steps
  1. Step 1

    Disc is pulled.

  2. Step 2

    Stack forms in the middle of the field. Catch (C) catches the disc.

  3. Step 3

    C throws to hitch (H). Force is flick. 1 initiates offense by stepping into the lane and setting up the cut. The stack should take one step to the break side to avoid pick calls.

  4. Step 4

    In this situation, our 1 cut is well-defended a not a viable option. What follows is how we do a middle-of-the-field reset.

  5. Step 5

    Because we know that the fills run the break side offense, 1 should clear to the back of the stack to give the fill (F2) both in- and out-cut possibilities.

  6. Step 6

    PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE DID AT PRACTICE: we want the dump throw from H to be thrown to space ACROSS the stack, not just because C is open. This will allow the break side offense to initiate just as the open side offense did -- the concept is similar to "switching fields" in soccer.

  7. Step 7

    Fills (F1 and F2) are talking to each other to see who is in the best spot to get open on this swing cut. F2 times his/her in cut off the swing pass and F1 initiates his/her motion when the disc goes up to F2.

  8. Step 8

    What happens most of the time (I think) is that F2 throws a long-ball to F1 for the score. We want this throw to the middle 1/3 of the field to allow F1 to run on to it and to give the thrower (F2) more room for error. GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLL!
