Offense
Vertical Stack with disc on trap sideline: Scenario #3
adrewsThe handler with the disc can also make eye contact with the Anchor(player 3), and make a break throw to the anchor.
Offense
Vertical Stack--disc centered--dump option 4--the Anchor
adrewsThis is the last ditch option, and really happens rather infrequently.
Offense
Vertical Stack--disc centered--dump option 3--the Anchor
adrewsIf player 1 cannot get the disc to the dump(player 2), then their next option is to look for the Anchor(player 3) for a reset. The Anchor has two options for where they can cut to get the disc. This is option 1.
Offense
Vertical Stack--disc centered--dump option 1
adrewsThis diagram is specific to just the handler cuts and not the cutters. Unless a specific play has been called, cutters should be cutting from the back of the stack. With the disc in the middle, there are four basic options for dumping or trying to reset the disc. In the center, player 1 should be looking upfield to advance the disc to the cutters for about 4 seconds. If nothing is open after stall 4, player 1 should then look for their dump(player 2).
Offense
Cycle Ho Stack 2
Ka-chingCommunication between the cutters is key. It might help to define who "goes first" as the disc is getting pulled, or whenever really. The left side cutters kinda pair together and the right side does the same. Cycling in, to the side, out, and then back in. IMPORTANT! Remember to always clear out to the side you came from. Don't cut from one side and clear out to the other, try to stay on your side. Note that whichever side is "active" will usually be on the open side, or when a swing is made, often the break-side.
