  • QF3: #3 seed vs #6 seed
  • QF4: #4 seed vs #5 seed

Due to the need to finish the season and the tournament by June in order for the Gilas Pilipinas team to train for the upcoming FIBA Asia Cup in July, the FIBA World Cup in August and the Asian Games in September, the league had six playing dates per week and the quotient system was implemented for tiebreakers, instead of playoff games for the #4 and #8 seeds.
