FIRST ROUND
  • The WNBA will establish the sequence of the players.
  • The top three scorers will progress to the Final Round.
TIEBREAKER FOR FIRST ROUND

FINAL ROUND
  • The Final Round will see the top three players from the Initial Round compete.
  • The order of play in the Final Round will be in reverse to the scores of the First Round. For example, the player with the lowest score among the Final Round qualifiers from the First Round will shoot first in the Final Round.
TIEBREAKER FOR FINAL ROUND
