Which offensive formation features players arranged across the field in a horizontal line?

• A. Vertical stack
• B. Horizontal stack
• C. Box stack
• D. Diamond stack

Answer: (B)

How players are spread across the field shapes the kinds of cuts and passes that are easiest. When the team uses a horizontal stack, players line up across the field in a single horizontal line. This setup creates multiple sideways lanes for cutters to move into and for the thrower to swing the disc across the field, keeping options open and spacing wide.

This is distinct from a vertical stack, where players line up downfield along the length of the field for deep, lengthwise cuts; a box stack, which forms a roughly square group near the handler to emphasize interior and reset angles; and a diamond stack, which places players in a diamond shape to mix angles and create interior options. The description of players arranged across the field in a horizontal line matches the horizontal stack.
