The Australian Football League has "knocked back Melbourne's request for a priority selection at the upcoming national draft." The Demons had "made a request for a priority pick, which are
only awarded at the discretion of the AFL Commission, which discussed
the request on Monday and decided against granting the Demons an extra

The Spanish Basketball League (ACB) announced that it will increase the use of instant replay during the '14-15 season. Referees will be able to use it throughout games to determine "if a shot was for 2 or 3 points, who should take free throws, who was involved in a confrontation or how much time is left in a possession or game." Previously, instant replay was only used at the end of a period to "decide whether a shot was released in time, whether it was for 2 or 3 points and to see how much time should be on the clock" (EP, 9/23).
