Decision Making

DECISION MAKING FILTERING PROCESS.

1. Establish position by analysing game
- head score
- game score
- ends to go
- playing conditions
- consider all options by analysing variables make a cost/benefit analysis
- potential gain = +x shots BENEFIT IF SUCCESSFUL
- potential lose = - x shots RISK IF ERROR or OPPONENT ADDS TO SCORE
- net potential

2. Determine % success rate for each option and compare to potential risk / benefit.
ie. Which shot is the most likely to be achieved? Is it worth playing a difficult low percentage shot?

3. Filter to best options,
For each option either,
- reject - if rejected clear the mind of that thought
- accept as option.

4. Narrow options to best two (this or that)
