====Handlers and cutters==== In most settings, there are a few "handlers" which are the players positioned around the disc. Their task is to distribute the disc forward and provide easy receiving options to whoever has the disc. Cutters, are the players positioned downfield, whose job is usually to catch the disc farther afield and progress the disc through the field or score goals by catching the disc in the end zone. Typically, when the offense is playing against a zone defense the cutters will be assigned positions based on their location on the field, oftentimes referred to as "poppers and rails (or deep deeps)."<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-05-10|title=Ultimate Frisbee Terms|url=https://discdish.org/2021/05/10/ultimate-frisbee-terms/|access-date=2021-05-11|website=DiscDish.org}}</ref> Poppers will typically make cuts within 15 yards of the handler positions while rails alternate between longer movements downfield. Additionally, against a zone there are typically three or four instead of the usual two or three, depending on the team.
