maybe... but AWC (the onetime exWarwick arm of the Druids) and Druids
have used 1-2-2 and 2-1-2 formations indoors with reasonable success due
to requirement for only one or two runners (to chase) and 3 or 4
slow/fat poachers (to stand around, poaching!) - ideal if you consider
the physique of a "regular" Druids team!

The lack of running around seemed to appeal to Flamingo "Get a Life,
Play Outdoors" Trap (Shotgun the year they deigned to play indoors) -
they made it all the way to 3rd in '93 (?) with a zone D.

It also seemed to be a more popular D last year...

Four across the back seems to be fading away - though I guess it's still
popular with student teams.

Wondering whether to buy a new pair of indoor shoes
- it's about time I used my squash racquet again...
