Broadcasts played over closed circuit radio, several apps, a phone service, and on MindsEye's website. Additionally, all hours of programming are available as mp3s each week that are available for registered listeners to download, 20 of these hours are available in specialized DAISY format, making them easier to navigate. 177305 0 57645 MindsEye began an audio description service, training 30 volunteers to go to theatres, museums and other cultural events to describe action on stage or art. A total of 31 events were described to people who were visually impaired. 120739 0 750 BeepBall is described by blind athletes as "a dream come true," it adds a spin on baseball that allows players with a visual disability to compete on the same field with sighted players. Guided by sound rather than sight, three key things make BeepBall different from traditional baseball. One is the ball. The BeepBall is a Chicago-style softball with an internal speaker that makes a beeping sound when activated. Next are the bases; there are only two: first base and third base. The bases are made of dense foam covered in vinyl fabric and are in the shape of a four-foot pillar with a cubed base that houses a buzzing speaker system. That speaker system is activated manually by an umpire with a switch box. The third difference, and most important leveling the playing field, is the blindfold.

Other (Continued from Part III, Line 4 c) A typical at bat works as follows: a blindfolded batter steps up to the plate and a pitcher, who is sighted and on the hitter's team, underhand pitches the BeepBall to the batter, telling them when to swing. If contact is made and the ball is put into play, the umpire with flip the switch randomly for first OR third base. If the batter touches the base before one of two sighted spotters, gets possession of the ball before the batter reaches the base, then the batter is out. BeepBall became one of Minds Eye's programs in July 2018. MindsEye's BeepBall program hosts two annual tournaments. The program also offers demonstrations around the St. Louis region for universities, schools, and events where we teach individuals about persons with Visual Impairments as well as how to play this great adaptive game. MindsEye will also field a team consisting of 8 blind and visually impaired athletes to compete in the Beep Baseball World Series in 2020. The Beep Baseball has teams from all over the country, and a few from outside the US, compete on a national level in a week-long tournament to be the Beep Baseball World Champions.
