The 1992 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Third Conference was the third and last conference of the 1992 PBA season. It started in September 20 and ended on December 13, 1992. The tournament is an import-laden format, which requires an import or a pure-foreign player for each team.

Format

The following format will be observed for the duration of the conference:

  • The teams were divided into 2 groups.

{{col-start}}{{col-2}}

Group A:

  1. Ginebra San Miguel
  2. Presto Ice Cream Kings
  3. Purefoods TJ Hotdogs
  4. San Miguel Beermen

{{col-2}}

Group B:

  1. Alaska Milkmen
  2. 7-Up Uncolas
  3. Shell Rimula X Zoomers
  4. Swift Mighty Meaty Hotdogs

{{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=1ls0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=WQsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3508%2C1852161|title=San Miguel, Purefoods gain semis over Shell, Alaska|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=5JgVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=2AoEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4845%2C315277|title=Gins crash out|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.
