The middle-middle, or monster plays either in the cup or just past the cup. It makes the cup that much tougher to get around and puts a real strangle hold on the throwers. I'd say the drawback is that if the disc gets beyond the cup, it can be tougher to recover because generally you have set up a 4 person cup against 3 handlers, so the back 3 are effectively playing 3 on 4.

It takes advantage of inexperienced handlers by making one of the handlers open, but only by a difficult throw, and great coverage downfield with 2 deeps, specially effective when running a trap force. And the hybrid - cup with man defense? Best name around is a Mullett!!! Business in the front - Pleasure in the back!! 2-3-2 Zone is really taking off in college.

C is British and S is American. In Canada, we are allowed if you will, to use both. Not related to the game but defence is spelt with a C and with an S. C is British and S is American.

Also, defense is spelled with an "S" and not a "C" Forcing middle contains the flow of the game and makes the deep game more difficult.

But could you please add a strategy of 4-3-1 zone? I play in Japanese college team and many teams inculuding us adopt 4-3-1 zone these days. I really want to study better 4-3-1 forms to develop our defence and offence as well. Thank you for posting really informative articles about some types of zone defence.

You can definitely force sideline too, there's really no rule about forcing in zone, although you generally want to force them against the wind. Good point Sam.
