WNBA adopts new rules

Dec. 6, 2005 02:00 PM The Women's National Basketball Association is shortening its shot clock to 24 seconds from 30 seconds to speed up games and increase scoring.
The new rule was among three adopted by the WNBA. The format of games will change, with contests split into four 10- minutes quarters instead of two 20-minute halves. The league also is eliminating jump balls other than the opening tipoff.
The changes were recommended by the WNBA's Competition Committee and were approved by the board of governors today, the league said in a news release.
As in the men's NBA, the shot clock will be reset to 14 seconds when a foul or other defensive infraction is committed with less time remaining. It won't change when a defensive violation occurs with 14 seconds or more left on the shot clock.
With the switch in formats, each team will be limited to four fouls a quarter before the opposition is sent to the foul line for two free throws.
