In the WNBA, each player is allowed up to five personal fouls during a game. Upon committing a sixth personal foul, the player is disqualified from the game, commonly referred to as "fouling out"

. There are different types of fouls in the WNBA:

• Personal fouls: These are the standard fouls that occur regularly during the game. A player is allowed five personal fouls before disqualification on the sixth

• Flagrant fouls: These are more serious fouls involving unnecessary or excessive contact. They are divided into two categories:
  • Flagrant 1: Contact deemed unnecessary. Results in two free throws and possession for the fouled team. A player is disqualified after committing two flagrant fouls

* _Flagrant 2:_ Contact deemed unnecessary and excessive. Results in immediate ejection, two free throws, and possession for the opposing team

• Technical fouls: These are usually for unsportsmanlike conduct like arguing with officials. Two technical fouls also lead to ejection

In summary, a player fouls out after six personal fouls. Flagrant fouls carry additional penalties and can lead to suspensions or ejections depending on severity and accumulation
