In my mind, the big difference between a 4-person cup zone (why doesn't anyone call it a 4-2-1?) and a 1-3-3 is the emphasis on pushing the disc backwards in the 4-person cup. The trap looks exactly the same, but in the middle of the field and on the non-trap sideline, the cup curls around, making the passing lanes out of the cup angle back much more than against a 1-3-3 or even a 3 person cup.

In this episode I talk to Michael Baccarini and Tiina Booth about their just published book Essential Ultimate. We talk about how they first met, the genesis of their book, and how Ultimate has changed over the years.
