All credentials must be worn and visible at all times, are non-transferable and any unauthorized use will subject barer to ejections from the BOK Center and confiscation of the pass. Please note all personal items are subject to search upon entering the BOK Center. Single game credentials should be requested via e-mail through the Tulsa Shock Media Relations department a minimum of 24 hours prior to game time or by 3:00 p.m. Friday for all Saturday, Sunday and Monday games. Single game credentials will be issued on a space available basis. Members of the media need to pick up their credentials at the media entrance located off of 1st Street (between Denver and Frisco) beginning two hours prior to game time. Credentials are good for admittance to the BOK Center, media room, media seating and both locker rooms. Absolutely no autographs are allowed during media access period. WNBA Media Access Polices Day of Game Shootarounds: All shootarounds will be closed to media, but all players and coaches will be available for a 15-minute period in a designated area. For home games, for a 7:00 p.m. tip-off, the Shock usually shoot at 10:00 a.m. at the BOK Center and will begin the 15-minute media access period at the Shock locker room following shootaround at 11:00 a.m. For road games, media need to contact the Shock Media Relations Department to verify shootaround times and media access periods. If the team does not have a shootaround, it is not required to have a media “shootaround” interview session. Pre-Game: The WNBA will retain the policy of a 30-minute open locker room beginning 90 minutes before the game and ending 60 minutes before the game. All head coaches must make themselves available for a minimum of 15 minutes within the 30-minute window. Post-Game: No later than 10 minutes following the game, all coaches must make themselves available to the media. Following a five-minute window for coaches, all locker rooms will be open to the media. Cell phone use is prohibited while in team locker rooms. Practice Media Access The last 30 minutes of each practice will be open to the media, unless otherwise posted by the Shock Media Relations Department. Media planning to attend a practice should confirm that morning that practice times have not changed, or that practice has not been canceled. All interviews will be conducted after practice concludes. Photographers Limited space is available for still photographers and videographers along each baseline, with exact locations to be determined on game day. All cameras are required to have rubber lens shades. Absolutely no tripods allowed. Use of flash is prohibited. Photographers cannot take pictures from, or block the escape lanes next to the baskets. No food or drink is allowed on the floor. Photographers are not allowed on court during the game. Photographers must stay in their designated areas and are asked to be considerate of fans directly in their viewing area.
