Step 1

Here's the basic setup. We are blue. 1, 2, and 3 form the cup. 4 is the 'short-deep'. 7 is the 'deep-deep'. 5 and 6 are the 'wings'.

Step 2

The cup follows the disc as it is swung.

Step 3

1 is the mark. 1 actually stalls the thrower and prevents swings. We will usually force forehand.

Step 4

2 is the 'top'. Because 2 is directly upfield of the mark, or on top of them. 3 is the 'off'. Because 3 is off to the side of the other two.

Step 5

Each person in the cup is responsible for blocking the OPEN SPACE TO THEIR RIGHT. 3 blocks the space between 3+2. 2 blocks the space between 2+1. 1 blocks behind the thrower.

Step 6

4, the 'short-deep', is responsible for dealing with the cutters in the middle of their hostack. Feel free to get physical--by this I mean get in their cutters' way. Nothing illegal about that.

Step 7

example

Step 8

7 is the 'deep-deep'. Someone who will always be the last back behind their deep cutters. Needs to communicate with the 'wings' about who is defending who.

Step 9

example

Step 10

Lastly, 5 and 6 are the 'wings'. They stay IN FRONT OF the opponents outside cutters to prevent their in-cuts. Wings should never be behind the outside cutters, that's what the deep-deep is for.

Step 11

That's about it. Keep watching for a longer example of how it works.
