The All-Star rosters were determined by a weighted vote: 50% from fans, 25% from current players, and 25% from media members. The top 10 vote-getters were automatically named starters.
The league’s 13 head coaches then selected the reserves, following a position-based format: three guards, five frontcourt players, and four players at any position to round out the rosters.
If a selected player becomes unavailable, then the WNBA Commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, will appoint a replacement.
