Fucking Dodgeball?

Went to watch Julie play dodgeball today. That sucked. The games usually consisted of players standing around watching the other team stand around. It's goddamned dodgeball, the goal is to peg somebody!! How can you submit your application for admission into Valhalla in good faith after a performance like that?

A correlation to ultimate, of course, is that the goal is to score a goal. If you're not doing that with your current strategy, perhaps you need a new one. More likely you need to refocus your strategy to obscure your deficiencies while emphasizing your strengths. Just because "this is the way Awesome Team X does it" doesn't mean that the same method will work best for your motley crew. Each horizontal O is unique in the stresses it places on defenders and what it requires of offensive players in order to be effective. Watching Rhino is far different than watching Sockeye, for example.

What pressure situations can your players best exploit with their skills? When you take chances with your offense, what can you do to increase the margin of error? Throw 50/50 discs to better receivers? Rely on breaking the mark instead of throwing 50/50s? Go to the dump earlier? Establish the "release" at a different spot on the field than the standard dumps?

In essence, each offense is a framework that orders your options in terms of preference. Some of these rankings are variable, but other offenses very clearly state their value systems.
