- Teams in a group will play against each other twice and against teams in the other group once; 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.{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=EGcVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=NwsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5474%2C973868|title=Peace in Purefoods bodes ill for Sarsi|work=Manila Standard}}
- The top five teams after the eliminations will advance to the semifinals.
- Semifinals will be two round robin affairs with the remaining teams. Results from the elimination round will be carried over. A playoff incentive for a finals berth will be given to the team that will win five of their eight semifinal games.{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Jq8VAAAAIBAJ&sjid=MQsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2726%2C372319|title=Rosy without Rose|work=Manila Standard}}
