Step by step 22 steps
  1. Step 1

    1) Set the #Hastag offense: This start's by the person with the disc yelling "#hashtag" and then a cutter's name. This will Let everyone on the field know that the 4 people in the endzone offense will be the 3 handlers and the cutter named after the hashtag (ex #hashtag Boston). The cutters whose names were not called should immediately sprint to the back line in the endzone and track along that line so as to keep their defenders from poaching. IF for whatever reason it is not a handler who is initiating the endzone offense (i.e. there is a big huck that doesn't score and the cutter decides he or she would like to be the 4th in the endzone offense), then that person will still yell #hashtag and then their own name so that everyone knows the endzone offense has been initiated and that the other cutters need to clear out.

  2. Step 2

    2) Ideally this endzone offense will start in the middle of the field where the disc will be swung to the open side. IF the disc starts on a sideline (force or open) then you would skip this step and go straight to the O2 cut from the center handler.

  3. Step 3

    3) This is where the #hashtag offense makes its money. As soon as that swing is made to the sideline handler then the center handler needs to bust O2. If the throw is to the open side then this cut is where a majority of your points should be coming from, because the handler going O2 should have his or her defender trailing them the entire way. It is also very important that cutters in the back of the endzone are staying active so that their defenders are not poaching up field to prevent an easy score.

  4. Step 4

    4) If the previous O2 strike is looked off then the sideline handler puts the disc out to space for the handler in the front of the stack to receive.

  5. Step 5

    5) The handler who previously threw the swing will then clear hard to the back of the stack and the handler in the front of the stack will make a hard cut to the front corner of the endzone. This is not a high percentage scoring opportunity as the cutter is losing endzone space with every step and either the center handler is having to make a break throw or the off mark defender is already in proper position to make a play on the disc.

  7. Step 7

    7) O2 cut is looked off and that handler then clears to the stack. The sideline handler then puts the disc to space for the handler in the front of the stack to go get for the swing.

  8. Step 8

    8) The handler in the front of the stack cuts to the front corner of the endzone, but is locked up and the center handler looks it off.

  9. Step 9

    9) The handler who made the continuation cut then comes around for the dishy and immediately looks across field.

  10. Step 10

    10) By the time the handler who gets the dishy has possession of the disc the handler from the front of the stack should already be in motion to grab that corner endzone swing/score. This graphic does not show it, but if the swing were again covered then you would again motion for a dishy into a swing. This can continue for as long as it needs to, but should really only be happening if cuts are poorly timed or the defenders are poaching (in which case find the open man and make them pay).

    13) Handler in the front of the stack makes a cut towards the front corner of the endzone and does not score.

  14. Step 14

    14) Center handler makes an O2 strike, but is covered and the sideline handler looks it off.

    12345671234567
  15. Step 15

    The handler who made the O2 cut then clears hard to the stack and the handler in the front of the stack makes a cut to receive the disc to space. The sideline handler decides he or she can't make this throw and looks it off.

    12345671234567
  16. Step 16

    The center handler then makes an O2 strike and it again is covered and looked off.

    12345671234567
  17. Step 17

    The disc is then put to space to the center of the field and the handler in the front of the stack makes a well-timed cut to receive the disc.

    12345671234567
  18. Step 18

    Center handler makes the swing to the handler cutting from the front of the stack and the sideline handler clears to the back of the stack. This time the disk ends up all the way against the sideline (not ideal).

    12345671234567
  19. Step 19

    Center handler makes the O2 strike, but with a lack of open space it is looked off. Also note that the off mark defenders should have temporarily shifted sides to prevent an easy inside throw. If not, make them pay after the O2 is looked off.

    12345671234567
  20. Step 20

    Since the disc is locked up on the sideline the handler in the front of the stack needs to push his cut more towards the handler as opposed to the center of the field. This will relieve stress on the thrower and lower the percentage for error.

    12345671234567
  21. Step 21

    Since the disc is not currently in the center of the field then the next cut should NOT be made in an attempt to score (i.e. to the front corner of the endzone), but to continue the swing away from the sideline. This is how you reset the #hashtag endzone offense since it is run best when it is centered.

  22. Step 22

    The cutter than makes a hard O2 strike, the point is scored, and the good guys win.
