Defense
Graveyard
supmasZone defense is generally used in windy conditions, to force teams with solid (hard to stop) offensive sets to make sketchy throws, and with newer teams in order to shorten points. The general strategy is to guard space instead of people to put more pressure on the disc (as is the case in a cup defense) and increase the number of throws needed to makes yard (leading to a higher chance of a dropped pass). In general, handler defenders are poachy (generally gaurding handler space where they see fit to stop handler resets) and other defenders are guarding certain spaces on the field and picking up offensive cutters that run into their spaces (e.g. the deep-deep will sit in deep space and if a cutter runs into deep space, they will run to catch up to them and block the throw). This defensive play involves a higher level of field awareness than person defense as it requires that all players on the field anticipate cuts before they occur and make small changes in their position as needed.
