1,300 of our players provided information to share with one another about their current club, to not only help them make important career decisions, but also help raise standards across the league.
Our goals were to highlight positive clubs, identify areas that could use improvement, and highlight best practices and standards. To learn more about the background of this initiative, read a note from President JC Tretter here.
Games are all about the experiences that they offer. Though we may learn, socialize or otherwise improve ourselves through games, most players play because they want to have a wide variety of experiences. Players with disabilities are no different. To get players really playing your game, it is not enough to simply give players access to the controls of your games so that they can steer a car or shoot an arrow, but instead to give them the experience of being Formula 1 driver or an adventurer in a fantasy world.
With APX, we are shifting the aim of accessible design to be about making these experiences possible for players with disabilities through a variety of different options. In order to help designers like you create amazing APX, we have broken down the accessible design into three layers represented as the APX Triangle.
Before anyone can play your game they need access to the game. This means they need to be able to perceive what is going on in the game and to take control of actions in the game. In other words, players need to be able to sense (see/hear/feel) the output of the game and to provide input to the game (click/tilt/speak). Ensuring this access, represented as the bottom layer of the APX triangle, is the first step to providing an APX, without which, many players with disabilities are excluded from your game. Our Access Patterns address the problems in this layer.
Once a player has access, they need to be able to play the game itself through interacting with what we call in general terms, the game world, whether this is stacking falling blocks or exploring a distant mountain range. But games are challenging and for some players, those challenges are overwhelming even after they have the perfect access settings. The enemy is too fast or the puzzle is too hard, or the content is too intense. If there is no way to manage the challenge, then players will have to stop playing your game even after all the work you put in ensuring they had access. Players need to be able to adapt the game in a variety of ways to make it so challenges within the game are not unreasonably hard or impossible to overcome. Providing for this diversity in levels of challenge is the second layer of the APX Triangle, and our Challenge Patterns help illustrate different ways designers have adapted challenge for accessibility.
Only when a player has access and can have a chance of overcoming the challenges in the game can they have the player experience you want them to have. And when you have done that, you have created an Accessible Player Experience.
In some cases, you may not be able to make every experience accessible to everyone. But then again, not every player wants to have the experience you are offering. APX is about helping you think about what you can do for players with disabilities while still producing the game you really want to make.
Before a player with disabilities can even kill their first monster, race their own car, or take their first point, they need to be able to access the world you created. Access design patterns help you do just that. These 12 patterns give you the tools to ensure that a player can tune the experience to meet their unique needs.

When using this parameter, the play/pause button will be hidden. To start playback for your viewers, you'll need to either enable autoplay, use keyboard controls, or implement our player SDK to start and control playback.
When disabled, the iframe background will become black. Black bars will be applied to the player when the height and width dimensions for the embedded player do not match the original aspect ratio of a video-- e.g the iframe dimensions are set to 4:3 square, but the original video is 16:9 wide.
Some examples of applications that only support Vimeo URLs are social media posts, WordPress themes and plugins, Wix plugins, Squarespace plugins, and other miscellaneous video embed tools within webpage builders. The good news is, some tools may allow you to adjust player preferences (like autoplay, for instance) directly in their own UI.
NBA teams must report information concerning player injuries, illnesses and rest for all NBA games. By 5 p.m. local time on the day before a game (other than the second day of a back-to-back), teams must designate a participation status and identify a specific injury, illness or potential instance of a healthy player resting for any player whose participation in the game may be affected by such injury, illness or rest. For the second game of a back-to-back, teams must report the above information by 1 p.m. local time on the day of the game.
