Which term describes a player who stays in the end zone waiting for a long throw?

• A. Cherry Picker
• B. Cutter
• C. Cup
• D. Contest

Answer: (A)

Cherry picker describes a player who camps in the end zone waiting for a long throw. This behavior relies on one big opportunity rather than actively moving to create open passing options across the field, which can slow the offense and make the defender’s job easier. A cutter, by contrast, is someone who actively runs cuts to get open and create space for teammates. Cup refers to a defensive stance that surrounds the thrower to force throws outward, not a description of an individual’s end-zone behavior. Contest means to challenge for the disc, not where a player positions themselves. So the term that best fits waiting in the end zone for a long throw is cherry picker.
