WNBA BASKETBALL TICKETS

The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) is an organization governing a professional basketball league for women in the United States. The WNBA was formed in 1996 as the women's counterpart to the NBA, and league play began in 1997. The WNBA regular season is played from May to August and the playoffs are played in September. Many WNBA teams have NBA counterparts and play in the same arena. The Connecticut Sun are the only team to play without sharing the city with an NBA team. Also, the Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun, Houston Comets, Los Angeles Sparks, Phoenix Mercury, and the Washington Mystics are independently owned.

The league is divided into two conferences. As of 2006, there are 6 teams in the Eastern Conference and 7 teams in the Western Conference. Each team plays a 34-game regular season schedule, beginning in May and ending in late August. The Western Conference teams play four teams in their conference 4 times each and play the remaining 2 teams 3 times apiece (22 games). They play teams from the opposite conference twice each (12 games). The Eastern Conference plays all 5 conference teams 4 times apiece (20 games) and the Western Conference teams 2 times (14 games). The four teams in each conference with the winningest records go on to compete in the WNBA playoffs during September.
