Is there such a thing in America? I just played in a tourney in
Germany and they kept trying to force middle. I have played other
tournaments here, and all the teams want to do this. After much
protesting on my part (because I can't really tell my lefts from my
rights all the time), we didn't really do it. When the team tried this
force, it never seemed to work, the marker had to call out either home
or away, or often right or left, and then we would switch every time
the disc switched which side of the field it is on. Does anyone else
use this system? Can it work?

NYNY played FM all the time/most of the time, and also played what we
called "progressive". started off straight up and became progressively
more FM as the disc moved closer to the end zone, if it did.
We also switched our force situationally throughout a point sometimes
with sideline help and could switch to trap if the O was out of
position, then back to FM if they were setting up sideline cuts. This
took a lot of communication and teamwork but after playing together
for a while, we were so in sync it didn't even have to be called out,
people just instinctively knew which force we were moving to based on
what the offense was doing.

I still love playing a good hard marking FM and always will. Make em
throw more passes, they will turn it over eventually.
I've used the Lucas zone, and it can work well, until the other team
realizes they can put the 4 downfield guys onto the disc side of the
field, and leave the far handler open for a big gaining hammer or
blade. Once the cup sets, you can repeat all the way up the field.

I got it backwards in my haste (still dyslexic after all these years).
Progressive meant that we were hard FM and moved to progressively more
"straight up" mark as the disc progressed towards the end zone. FM not
as effective vs. spread, of course.

Another D we played we called "Lucas" which was a 3 -person cup with
the back four playing mano a mano. The 3-person cup played FM
typically but had the option to switch to trap situationally if the
disc was swung to a sideline.
