Format
The following format will be observed for the duration of the conference: *The teams were divided into 2 groups. Group A: # Pepsi Mega Bottlers # Purefoods TJ Hotdogs # San Miguel Beermen # Sunkist Orange Juicers Group B: # Alaska Milkmen # Formula Shell Zoom Masters # Ginebra San Miguel # Sta. Lucia Realtors * Teams in a group will play against each other once and against teams in the other group twice; 10 games per team; Teams are then seeded by basis on win–loss records. Ties are broken among point differentials of the tied teams. Standings will be determined in one league table; teams do not qualify by basis of groupings. * The top five teams after the eliminations will advance to the semifinals. * Semifinals will be two round robin affairs with the remaining five teams. Results from the eliminations will be carried over. A playoff incentive for a finals berth will be given to the team that will win at least five of their eight semifinal games. * The top two teams (or the top team and the winner of the playoff incentive) will face each other in a best-of-seven championship series. The next two teams (or the loser of the playoff incentive and the fourth seeded team) dispute the third-place trophy in a best-of-three series.Elimination round
