once – thus it constitutes a first performance review on the basis of which the next few practice steps can be deter-mined.
Experienced players base their practice on the com-plete PAT package – the main focus of their practice
materializes automatically: players concentrate on those exercises that produced the least satisfactory results (the fewest points).
Taking the test before starting your practice (this op-tion is also open to absolute beginners) will help you understand the structure and particularities of the exercises – and enhance your understanding of the importance of individual exercises.
However, official tests should not be taken more fre-quently than every three months within one ability level.
Depending on how much time you have for prac-tice, you should establish 3-month targets (prac-tice schedule), e.g. a 50% increase of your results. You can now pursue these targets, for instance, un-til you have reached the desired results three times in a row (however, at least 80% of results stipulated by PAT).

Coloured levels are also used in other sports, for in-stance in martial arts. Striving to reach the next level is a constant motivator. The tasks required to reach the next level are clearly defined and therefore de-termine your course of action for structured prac-tice. Not least, the level also reflects and documents the athlete’s performance.
Passing a test is an athlete’s reward for hard work, diligence and the practice time invested in prepara-tion.

Level tests
The highlight of nominal values in the levels Gold / Silver / Bronze
From now on, the nominal values to be reached in the individual exercises, both in PAT 1 and in PAT 2, will be divided into the categories Gold / Silver / Bronze. This is aimed at measuring performance in much more detail. A player’s development ends for the time being once the Gold class has been reached. Participants of the system’s test phase, playing at different skill levels, were noticeably more motivated with the new system. The target was to reach the entry level Bronze – but who would be satisfied with that?
Who would not like to be the proud holder of a Gold medal?
Evaluation within one level (6 exercises):
Nominal value below Bronze: 0 points
Bronze: 1 points
Silver: 2 points
Gold: 3 points
Calculation of medal:
Medal points achieved at each level
6 (Number of exercises)
Example:
Nominal value: 2 x Gold = 6 points
Nominal value: 1 x Silver = 2 points
Nominal value: 2 x Bronze = 2 points
Nominal value: 1 x below Bronze = 0 points
