WNBA: Breaking News and Standings

New Tiebreaker System for 2024 Season

The WNBA has announced a new tiebreaker system for the 2024 season. The new system will be used to determine the winner of any two-way ties that occur during the regular season. This change comes after the league noticed that the old system did not adequately account for some aspects of team performance.

### Changes from Previous System

The old tiebreaker system used the following criteria, in order:

1. Head-to-head record
2. Winning percentage against teams with a .500 or better record
3. Overall winning percentage

The new tiebreaker system will still use the head-to-head record as the first criterion, but it will then use the following criteria, in order:

1. Overall winning percentage
2. Winning percentage against teams with a .500 or better record

This change gives more weight to overall winning percentage, which is a more comprehensive measure of team performance than winning percentage against teams with a .500 or better record.

Impact

The new tiebreaker system could have a significant impact on the standings, as it could change the order of teams in the playoffs. It could also affect which teams qualify for the playoffs, as teams that are tied in the standings could now be separated by the new tiebreaker system.

The WNBA is hopeful this new system will provide a more fair and accurate way to determine the winner of any two-way ties that occur during the regular season.
