Preface

What is PAT?

PAT stands for “Playing Ability Test” and is much more than just a method to test the playing abilities of billiard players.

It is, in fact, a system to assess the skills that one needs to play good pool on the basis of exercises evaluated. Those skills are defined in ten sectors - ten aspects of the game.

Additionally, this system may always be applied as a model to plan short, mid and long term training programmes.

Therefore, in this practice book, printed material for further exercises and training games to record personal performances in training may be found along with the PAT exercises.

Besides being helpful for preparing for the PAT, the whole purpose of this practice book is to assist athletes in training. That this cannot replace a (good) trainer is understood!

How to use this book?

Advanced players, if possible under the guidance of their coach, should start by performing a complete PAT test in training. In doing so the selection of exercises to practice on will be an automatic – simply start working with the exercises upon which the result was the poorest (lowest score).

According to time available for training, a 3-months-target should be formulated (e.g., 50% progress) and pursued till the predetermined result has been reach three times in succession (or, at least, 80% of the PAT target value).

Most score-sheets are designed for 2 x 12 attempts on each exercise (with 5 respectively 3 innings each). Obviously it will be easier to reach the set target average when allowed 5 innings since a failure will be accepted with less consequences. Since the tests as a rule actually consist of 3 innings, the second 12 attempts are presented with only 3 innings. The purpose of the training is to reach the set target three times in a row with only 3 innings at the end of the 3-months period.

With weekly training rounds, a single score-sheet could last up to 6 months if one or two exercises are absolved and recorded. An exercise may, can and should be repeated as often as desired - however, only two recorded attempts should be performed per week to emphasise the “not-to-be-repeated character” of these attempts. It is, in fact, recommended that the attempts to be recorded should be witnessed (e.g., during a club training).

In addition to the exercises we would recommend that one or two of the described practice games should be included in each training period.

Should the set target be reached earlier than planned, the exercises and games may naturally be replaced by others.

The PAT-System was rubber-stamped and exclusively recognised by the WPA (World Pool-Billiard Association) in the fall of 2004. It is hence possible to be listed according to the result of the tests in official rankings or to acquire a corresponding performance emblem (as pictured on the right).

Through the official recognition of the PATs by the WPA, national, international and even intercontinental comparisons are only now made possible (everyone does the same tests)

The grading of the above-mentioned performance emblems are classified as follows

PAT 1 600 - 799 points

1. Light green

PAT 1 800 - 999 points

2. Dark green

PAT 1 1000 onwards

plus certificate

PAT 2 600 - 799 points

3. Light blue

PAT 2 800 - 999 points

4. Dark blue

PAT 2 1000 onwards
