How WNBA All-Star voting works
Fans will account for 50% of the vote, while players and media will account for 25% each. After all votes are tallied, players will be ranked by position (guard and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups – fan votes, player votes, and media votes. The four guards and six frontcourt players with the best score will be named as WNBA All-Star starters.
The league’s head coaches will then select the 12 reserves. In total, 22 players will be named All-Stars. The All-Star game itself will take place on July 19th in Indianapolis.
