Initial Setup. Players H,H, and HS are handlers. Player HS is the designated stack setter. Players 1,2,3, and 4 are cutters. When the disc is in the middle of the field, the off handler should be set up on the open side of the field. When the off handler sets up on the open side of the disc, they should be around 10 yards away from the thrower, back at a 45 degree angle back from the disc. (Extra note - Why? The off handler should always set up on the open side of the disc, about 10 yards away from the thrower, back at a 45 degree angle from the disc, whenever possible. This allows for the handler to have a wide open cutting lane to throw to. If the off handler's defender poaches off and gets in the lane, the off handler has an easy dish cut to the break side.)
The handler should look for open cuts downfield for around 4 stall counts. If there are no open looks down field, the handler will turn and square up with the off handler behind them. (Extra note - Simply looking over your shoulder to the off handler does not signal that you are looking for them. In order to initiate the off handler, you need to turn your whole body towards the off handler and maintain eye contact.)
The off handler has two viable cuts. The first cut is to run directly behind the handler to receive a dish pass. (Extra note - This pass is ideally further on the break side than where the disc was allowing for an open lane to throw a continuation throw on the break side.)
The handler who just dished the disc back, should then replace where the off handler just came from. Note that we are back to our starting set, where the off handler is on the open side of the disc, 10 yards back at a 45 degree angle.
After another 4 stalls of looking downfield, the handler sees no open cuts. The other viable off handler cut is to cut upfield. This is a very difficult throw to make.
If the disc is on the force sideline, thereby preventing the off handler from setting up on the open side of the disc, the off handler should then set up 3-5 yards upfield, 10 yards away from the thrower. This allows for a lot of backfield space for a break throw to be thrown.
From this setup, the off handler has two viable cuts(assuming the handler has not seen any downfield looks and has initiated the off handler). The off handler can come straight back to receive a break throw.
If that cut is looked off(handler pumps the off handler), the off handler's next cut is then a strike cut up the sideline.
The stack and off handler push downfield and reset.
Again, after looking downfield for 4 seconds, the handler can initiate the off handler but squaring up and maintaining eye contact with the off handler. The off handler can then make a cut.
If the disc is swung from the force sideline to the middle of the field, the top of the stack makes a continuation cut on the break side.
It is then the responsibility of the two handlers to communicate so one of them remains the off handler, and the other handler clears out.
If the off handler cuts up field, but does not receive the disc, they need to move back to their set position as to not clog the lane for other cuts.
