Step 1

First, a review of the normal Durham 3-3-1 with a trap. Our Cup forces to the sideline.

Step 2

Our mids

Step 3

and our deep....

Step 4

The cup forces the disc to the sideline.

Step 5

Then the Mark (1) takes away any backfield dump, while the top (2) becomes the "mark", and the swing (3), takes away the upline.

Step 6

This is a high-pressure zone, and forces the thrower to try and put something through the cup, or throw something over the top to the breakside handler. It's a good zone, and it's one we can still use.

Step 7

But for our trap, the original mark (1), is not going to take away the backwards reset, but rather they'll shut down that close field throw completely.

Step 8

We'll let the backwards through happen

Step 9

but (1) will stop the swing across, while the 2-man trap pushes them backfield.

Step 10

They may gain a few yards on the sideline here and there, but generally, the 2-man trap should be able to contain them, until their patience wears thin.

Step 11

If the disc does end up on the break side, (1) applies the mark, and the cup reforms,

Step 12

As soon as the disc crosses that half-way point on the field, we can revert back to a 2-man cup, and (1) can take away the break side handler space.
