KEY CONCEPTS
Simulated Matchplay
Purpose: Recreate high-stakes game moments to train composure and execution under pressure.
Instructions:
1. Create short match scenarios:
Tiebreak: Both players start 1–1 in legs, first to 2 wins.
Decider: Start at 2–2 in a best-of-5 format.
Comeback: Opponent leads 2–0, you must win next 3 legs.
2. Keep standard scoring rules but use competition pace (no excessive pauses).
3. If practising solo, simulate opponent scoring realistically (e.g., using a random score generator).
ACHIEVEMENT MARKERS :
Beginner: Makes a throw decision within time limit on 80% of attempts.
Intermediate: Correctly chooses optimal scoring/checkout path within 10 seconds.
Advanced: Maintains accuracy % within 5% of normal practice even under time pressure.
Practice Routine:
10 minutes per session.
Round 1: 15-second limit for simple scores.
Round 2: 10-second limit for difficult scores.
Bonus: Use a buzzer or crowd noise app to simulate tension.
