{{col-2}}

{{col-end}}

  • Teams in a group will play against each other once and against teams in the other group twice; 11 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=Nq8mAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CAsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2092%2C4992676|title=San Miguel battles Shell, Sarsi takes on Pepsi|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 at least five of their eight semifinal games.{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=bKAVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=AgsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5208%2C138235|title=Surging Gins outplay Shell|work=Manila Standard}}
  • 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 will qualify for a best-of-five playoff for third place.
