Accessibility was the main factor considered in the changes. Movement for some people is restricted, so they might need a smaller court. These changes make the games easier to access, with more lenient rules personalized towards the players. The soccer court is more similar- both sides are reduced by the same scale factor.

1. to make it accessible to everyone involved
2. i determined it by the scale factors
3.  by making it so its fair to everyone

1. While making changes to the Olympic courts to adjust them to the Paralympic ones, they probably considered how fast each game was going to be, as well as how many people were needed on each court.
2. In order to determine which courts are "more similar" you compare the scale factors. If they are proportional they are similar.
3. Making changes to each game can make it more accessible to teams in a few different ways. For example, in the volleyball court, they can make it easier to hit it over the net by making it shorter (since they're sitting). In soccer, making the field proportionally smaller may help so they can get the ball down the field more quickly.

When changing the courts and fields, something they most likely had to take into consideration was how much ground the athletes could cover. As an example, for many of the sports many of the athletes have very little mobility in their legs so they modified the courts so they wouldn't have to move as much or even at all. When determining what courts were "similar" we used a scale factor to see if the courts were the same shape but different sizes, like for the soccer field the scale factor was 4/9. Lastly, these changes make the games more accessible because it makes it more fair and balanced towards the paralympic athletes so the don't have to do twice as much to play the same sports as non-paralympic athlets.

1. They made the courts smaller so that it is easier for them to get around the court.
2. I determined if other courts were more similar by finding the scale factor.
3. The changes make it easier to get around the court.

The factors considered when making changes to the game is who is playing the game. Also you have to factor in the time it would awake some people to travel distances. I determined which courts are more similar by looking a their scale factors and the soccer field was more similar because it had a scale factor of 4/9 and it was proportional. The sitting volleyball had different scale factors for the different sides. The changes made the game more accessible because in sitting volleyball it is difficult to move far so they shrunk the court so you can go where you need to go to get the ball. - Megan

Some factors that were taken into consideration when making the courts is how mobile the players are, and what tools they need to use to be able to play. My partner and I decided which courts were similar by finding the scale factor. The changes to the game make it more accessible by making it a shorter distance to move around in, making the rules more lenient to the sport and players. - Ayanna T

1. How much ground they can cover in a matter of time
2. I just divided the bigger number with the smaller ones and the soccer court had the same answer while the other court had two different answers
3. Paralympics has more rules so that everyone has an equal chance to win/play

1. make people with disabilities be able to lay these sports. like for example they made the net shorter for the volleyball court.

2.because the court soccer court could be multiplied my a number on both side to equal the smaller court. but the volley ball court could not.

3.because if the net was not as short as it is the people would not be able to hit the ball over the net while they were siting down. also it make people that are not as disabled as some others but still can not play standing up volleyball they can still play siting volley ball but still being fair.

I think a factor considered when making changes to the court was that the court kept the same proportions. For both soccer courts, the length is exactly 2 times the length. This was not the same for the volleyball courts and they did not stay proportional for both courts. This means that the soccer courts were the most similar because they had the same proportions and they were just changed by a scale factor of 4/9. I think these changes make the game more accessible because the players do not have to travel as far and as fast when playing. For example, in sitting volleyball, it is harder for the athletes to move around, so a smaller court makes the game more accessible.

They are changed for accessibility, because you can only scoot so far.
The soccer court is most similar, because it multiplies by 2.25
The changes are made to make the sport practical, because you can only scoot so fast around a large court.

What factors were considered when making changes to the game or the court?    the scale is a factor that needs to be considered.                                                       How did you determine which courts are “more similar”? you find the scale. In what ways do changes make the game accessible? small changes that make the game more accessable for more people.

1.)A factor that went into making changes to the game/court were what limits people might have. (Floor VB you would have to lower the net and shorten the court because you can't hit it as high or cover as much distance from sitting)
2.)I did scale factors and if they had the same scale factor it was similar
3.)The changes make the game accessible because it makes it easier for people who have certain limitations to play.

i noticed which one was more alike because for each side for like big and small you could multiply and get the bigger court but for the volleyball one you would have to multiply by two different numbers. and the reason why the courts would be like this is for example volleyball your standing so that gives you room and you can move a little more. but for sitting volleyball it takes more room and some people cant move as much as standing volleyball so they would have to change the portions of the court. cause sometimes there are people to limited motion which could b a reasoning to sitting volleyball.

I think the amount of space was considered because the game would be played in a different version. I determined which courts were more similar by dividing the image by the pre-image. The changes to the game may change one of the rules, like not having to exactly serve right behind the volleyball line, which was maybe due to the change in length of the court during the sitting volleyball.

# data[].attributes.body
When creating the courts, the distance that the players could cover in a short amount of time must have been considered. Take tennis for example, the ball is coming just as fast as is would on a full size court, but the players aren't able to move as quickly. The solution to this is to simply make the courts smaller.

I divided the larger number by the smaller number, and then I took the solution of that problem and multiplied it by the second smaller number. If it was the same as the second larger number, the they are similar shapes.

It makes it easier to travel across the courts so that those who are physically impaired are still able to make it to the ball in time.

1. they had to consider if the people to be able to move around comfortably
2. I divided both courts by the length and the width and if they were the same I concluded that they were similar
3. the changes make it easier to get around since the court is smaller

1. How to make it easier for the people playing.
2. Because each side of the soccer feild divided to the smaller side of the soccer feild by 2.25.
3. Because people who play in the paralympics can't move as fast as we can so using a smaller court is easier for them.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The factors that were probably considered was that they needed to make it smaller since everyone is sitting and there are less people playing than stand up volley ball.
2. The soccer court has similar courts and I found this out because I can get the 20 to the 45  the same way with the 40 to the 90. And get 4/9ths
3. The changes to the courts makes it more accessible because it allows more disabled people to play and lets them play comfortably.

One of the factors considered is how accessible the court is going to be when it is downsizes.

We determined it by the scale favor of the courts.
If you have 1 leg it is going to be a lot harder to run a full soccer field then it is the run a Paralympic soccer field.

When making changes to the court, they had to make the size scaled down, mostly to scale, to make the games a little easier to get around. The way you can determine the similar courts is by applying those rules to see which court follows them, so which ones are to scale. These changes will make the games more accessible by lowering the distance that must be traveled to do the objective of the sport.

The Paralympic courts were made to where all athletes can participate. For example, in swimming, some Paralympic athletes might not be able to start the race by diving, therefor for the athletes that can, would be getting a faster start if diving was accessible. In Volleyball, some athletes might not be able to stand up, making it fair to invent sitting volleyball and making the court great for it. To find out what courts are more similar, scale factor had to be needed.

# data[].attributes.body
Because athletes in the Paralympics may have a more limited range of motion. We found that the courts were more "similar" by finding the scale factor, and comparing them. The courts are more accessible,  by giving people a chance to participate.
