Tactic #1

Here is a common situation: Blue has to clear Red from in front of hoop 8, it is pointless to clear Red to the Boundary and remain "in lawn" as Blue is in danger of being cleared away (much further) himself.

A better tactic is to nudge Red out of position and to deflect away towards the boundary where Blue's position is now "safe".

Red will more than likely take position again in front of the hoop, Black does the same - aiming to be "wired" from Yellow behind the hoop or Red.

Unless Yellow can block Blue's clearance on Red, Blue can then attempt to clear Red to the far side of the lawn, who will have a difficult clearance on Black to save the point.
